There's lots of industrial engines out there that log hundreds of thousands of hours without catastrophic failure. Quality stuff lasts forever if it's well taken care of.

My company just rebuilt a gear box that was originally installed in 1963 from a paper mill in Alabama. No telling how many hours that thing has run without a failure.

Yeah I'm not sure people understand how engines work either. An engine is designed to run, not sit around in a garage. If you're driving hundreds of highway miles everyday at 2-3k RPMs that SOB is going to purr if you take care of it. Assuming he took it in the shop for every oil change he actually was behind schedule from a recommended standpoint.

I want to know how many sets of tires he went through.
