    Engine Life

    Found my note from the 2nd oil change I did on this car back in ' 05. Bought it with a cracked block and started from there.

    I'm curious as to what kinds of life you folks get out of your CMC (and AI) mills.
    Its no secret my attendence has been spotty over the last 10+ years. However, I still managed to get 5000 track miles out of my old LT1.
    Had it done with ARP's, balancing, and basic stock stuff.
    I'd say I'm quite happy with the life I got out of it, mistreatment and all. I used redline 40wt race oil its whole life, and only ever swapped the valve springs every 'full' season or two.

    If I refresh this one, or another core, I'll likely take it back to the same dirt track shop in Waco for the work.
