*Coolant flushed
*Sparks changed
*Tb cleaned
*Egr V changed
*Iac V changed
*Trans oil flushed
*Timing/all belts/waterpump changed@130k ml.
*Steering pump wentout, changed.
*Airbag lite came on couple mnths back, jumped it, fix.
*Driverside window stop working for two weeks, and started working again.o_O?fixed?
The starter and alt are original(prob next to go),shock and springs too.
If anyone with more milage on ther tl then me, and still driving it, reply please,just want to know how far i can take this car.

 

our super moderator has well over 400,000 miles and going strong!
a daily driver and that car still hits the road race track for fun days!!

 

ck if you are part of the airbag inflator recall 1 800 382 2238x5

 

lifespan is something that no one can say, freak failures happen. If maintained properly it should run for a long time.

 

How long till you Rebuilt it???
I Know the Block Must lasts but a Rebuilt is Needed Anyway I dont think rings could go that far, Or they Can???

 

fsttyms pulled his engine apart at 200kmiles and the cylinders still had the factory honing marks! like brand new at 200!
only changed engines to install a 6 speed manual trans and engine from a CL-S

he has put 250kmiles + on the cl engine, plus whatever it had to start!

keep the oil changed and dont overheat the engine from neglect and it will last a long time

seafoam in oil can loosen anything sludged in the rings

 

Excelent advice and thanks so much for the info,
fsttyms1: The straight forward.
skirmich: The what might happen.(knock on woods)
01tl4tl: The sugestions/advice.

 

Its closing in on 300k. looking forward to pulling it to put the new motor in to see what its internals look like on 15k oilchange intervals. My guess is like the last motor.
