2nd car owners:)

@oldskewltoy, the redblock is indeed the family name for all originally red engines, although I was referring to the B200/230 engines, which have basically the same block but with low-friction components (thinner rods, cam-on-bucket valves).
I've abused my 280.000km 2l redblock from the day I bought it, doing regular trackdays with it. Only things I did for the first 2 years of ownership where regular oil and filter changes.
Recently put new belts and waterpump on to ensure it keeps on ticking.
The thing is: the car never had an engine problem, not counting a worn out waterpump.
I've worn down two tired old 4age's in the meantime, and the third one looks like it's steadily on it's way (although it has plenty of miles left to go). I treat the 4a's a hell of a lot better than I do the redblock, but they just seem to wear out faster due to the high rpm's.
