How many of you people have this motor in your truck?
I have this in my '84 720 pickup.
I currently have 120,300 miles on it and I am continuing the tradition on changing my oil every 3,000 miles.
Also, how many miles average can you generaly get out of one of these motors?
I was hoping to get another 130,000 miles on mine before I had to replace it.
Thanks

Not the worst motor in the world, I used to run a 2.4 block in my Datsun 510. Of course I put the old style cylinder head on it to avoid that stupid too many spark plug and too expensive cap and rotor issue.
The cylinder heads are the weak point, I've seen them blow out between cylinders twice. If its in good shape now and not burning oil keep changing the oil at 3000 and you can expect 200 000 out of it.
