that depends on what breaks.

if you have a carbon seal motor, and it breaks an apex seal they are too soft to do damage to anything else, so you jsut rip it open and replace the seals.

if you have a steel seal motor, usually the shrapnel will take out the rotor housing and or rotor.

also in a high revving motor you can spin bearings and break stationary gears, and that can take out rotors and housings too

so basically, the only thing that ill have to worry about breaking is the seals, and i should be sure to replace the bearings and stationary gears about how often? and when you say itl last 20-60K miles, is that before one of the afore mentiond things happens?? [/quote]

Ummm, when seals break housings and rotor tend to follow, and they cost $$$

well see a race motor gets torn down and inspected, the idea being they can catch something before it breaks on em. in a street car you dont really do that. it would be best to start with new or very good used parts

hrmm....so i can go with the 180... what would you expect the redline to be? and considering that i dont have to worry about emissions what port would you suggest me doing in terms of hp and how long it will last me.
