More than none.


You won't get an accurate measure by people responding, because you will only get people that still come here, and have had their 8 the entire time for that. Other people here could be on their 10th and never know it because they bought it last week...


This question doesn't actually serve any purpose and doesn't get anywhere.

Well before anyone asks a question again maybe they should talk to you first and see if it is a valid or reasonable question. Wow you could even have your own forum to vet questions before they are asked here. Yes get your own forum and see if your valuable insite is sought after.

See how the forums work? You voiced your opinion about my post which voiced my opinion about his post.

You haven't been around long enough to have seen my actual quantifiable efforts to really build some of the statistics that the OP is asking for. I am simply pointing out that even with responses, it's going to be a skewed result and shouldn't be taken as any form of guideline, rule, general trend, or even anything remotely resembling "normal".

That's nothing. Wait until he closes a "What kind of oil should I use" thread before 27 people have a chance to follow up with "canola oil," "olive oil" and "KY Jelly." Wallow in the misery of your creative juices being squelched...albeit for the benefit of all mankind

Yeah I tend to post some here and there. My original engine died at 22k from low compression, my second (Mazda reman) engine died at 96,000 from low compression, and my third (Mazda reman) engine died (well was dying anyway) at 127k from a bad coolant seal. My fourth engine is a Pineapple Racing ported 08' engine and is also turbocharged and has about 4,000 miles on it to date.
