Wused to have a rule of thumb about type I engines lasting say 80K miles between rebuilds. I remember someone got 300K out of his type-1 by changing the oil every 1K miles. Is there any rule of thumbs to go by for the type 4? Another rule of thumb was that a modified engine with higher compression would last even less.
