RE: PI vs Non PI bottom end

Rings are the weak point as far as durability on the bottom end.

I have heard of really high mileage cars that have cracked cams

Just get the engine rebuilt. 111,000 miles is not a lot...it's no short throw either, but not A LOT. I'd consider 135,000+ a lot.

RE: PI vs Non PI bottom end

my engine is startin to lose the oil through the valve seals. The level goes down but there are no other signs? as in plugs look perfect and NO smoke. No leaks either (anymore haha)

I'm gonna run my engine till it dies. Then something totally awesome gets put in it's place
