Mustang: at least 5…trann is a different story as that is definitely double digits. SHO: 1 so far…I’ll be pulling this one again soon to do some 200k maintenance:) ---

no engines on the SHO but the tranny has failed 3 tiems resulting in a swap. even with over 216K the only thing i have done to the engine is timing belt and rod bearings. lxtasy you don’t have to pull the engien for any maintnance on the SHO. if you want a hand call me ---

LOL… but ive known people who have built motors that blow as they first start them cuz of timing and whatever else… luckely its never been me… but ya like my first time was stupid cuz i knew i needed to change the timing belt put it off and off… WHAM… valves and pistons said hello to each other ☹ not fun… but other times are for crazy abuse id say and i dont think its the people who think they know about cars… its the people who wanna DIY… Honestly id rather see a guy DIY it and blow the motor the first itme and redo it and know his car … learn about it and be able to say uve done that rather then… “yeah i just sent my car to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to get a new motor put in cuz i dont have the tools and dont wanna mess it up” i give more credit to the ones who wanna do it and not pay for it… BUILT NOT BOUGHTEN… ok im done… ha ---
