How long do the VTR engines go on for...?

[MOBIUS_VTR]

My VTR is sitting at around 110k now...

What's a standard life expectancy of a VTR engine - how long I have got...!?

[axsaxoman]

if no oil smoke or consumption -- and you change oil regularly --another 100k
time to change the belt

mine is on 200k, abused from cold and thrashed daily, in the last year i've just started to get plue puffs on over run. i've got a 16v in the shed to put in when it dies........the 16v has been waiting 4 years for it's fitment!!! the 8v leaks more oil than it burns.....but it's still embarrasing a few performance cars.....admittedly more through out breaking than speed!

Good question this. It may leak oil but what about bearings and piston rings? 120k seems the norm nowadays for any car petrol or diesel.
