240k=bad news?

[MikeW]

I havent done alot of actual research or found out if this is true, but i remember someone telling me, or reading somewhere, that the f22 series engines usually crap out around 240k. +/-. Im not fretting cuz theres quite a few members that have that many miles, if not more. Im just wandering if anyone has any facts, details, or information on whether or not this is true.

I know you heard this before but it really all matters on how it was driven and how well maintained it is. I heard it'll last 'til about 3,000k. Well you know what to do in case that conks out on you.

Lemme help you out.

Get an 8th letter of the alphabet.

[MikeW]

help me out

trust me..im saving every penny i can for an H. My odo's reading just under 225k so ive got awhile yet. Just to be safe, i still wanna try and get a swap done before 240.

And if wores really comes to worse, ill just swap in either another a6 or maybe a f20a

[HF22T]

well you could justbuy a f bottom end and buy my h headswap

my f lasted to 290xxx miles and that was 80xxx of just pure beating with no maintanence including oil changes cuz i want that motor to go

[F20A CB7]

My F22A1 took a crap at 220k, HELLO F20A, well sohc at least

[MikeW]

id love nothing more than a 200+ hp euro-R. But im willing to settle for 190 or so

If none of that is possible or within budget i'd like to go for SOHC vtec. And if all else fails then its direct replacement or f20a.

To be honest, im really wanting to hop aborad the Deev train and go Pontiac. Those 01 Grand Am coupes are lookin yummy.. but thats distant future.

[starchland]

its bullshit how can you possibly put a # on something like that? there are 150 million variables.

[MikeW]

I know...dont ask. I just recall hearing or reading something that f22a's had a tendency to crap out around there. Or if not crap out, that may be a turning point where more vigorous maintenance is required

What about the F20A DOHC motor. ITs just as much as the sohc. I didnt find this motor til 2 weeks after i installed my sohc f20a. I as pissed

There are plenty of F22As that are over 300k. Maintained properly,they'll last longer than the sheetmetal. Sadly, many aren't maintained properly, especially on their 2nd and 3rd owners. Still, the F22A can take one hell of a beating!

As my dad would put it, "That poor little car couldn't move out of its own way." ..he says with a Triton V8....

[ExplodingCake]

I have 183,000 miles on mine , feels brand new.

Trust me , proper and up-to-date maintenance is the key.
