Id want to know if its had rings & valves done, needs a leak down test either way, Id be leery of it,
YOu got any idea how many million times that piston has gone up & down in there?
I don rember th RPM vs MPH in 5th gear, but, if we just say 60 MPH = 3500 RPM & every inch it ever traveled was at 60 MPH, it never stopped or idled or ran at any speed other than 60 MPH @ 3500 RPM, then theres 210,000 revolutions per 60 miles, so, theres 210,000,000 for 60,000 miles,
I wouldnt wanna give much for it,,
Its actually pretty amazing to me that in internal combustion engine lasts more than a few thousand miles, considering all the stuff that happens in there & the hostile environment inside a cylinder, At best, it just seems like an engine ought to use a quart of oil every few hundred miles,,Thats some kinda engineering up in there.
