Engine Swap
Leroy:

If the engine has been maintained properly and continues so, it
should outlast your ownership. That engine is just now broken in.

> Appreciate the information and forum history. My 8v92 is in
fabulous shape, ( I think), it runs dry, doesn't overheat, doesn't
sling oil and doesn't drop oil from the slobber tubes. It uses about
a quart of oil each 1000 miles. That should be OK for an 8v92 with
110,000 miles. Sometimes I wonder if it has oil in the pan. I don't
know, maybe it is getting ready to go boom. I hope not. I just
thought a new high tech engine would be a reasonable upgrade. I think
I better leave the 8v92 alone.
