You can brag here - Most Miles & not broken

phenrichs · 02-09-2009, 04:04 PM

Ok, so when I owned my Vmax I read about a guy that had one and had over 100,000 miles on it using Castorl GTX oil and changed his oil every 3000 miles and changed the filter every other oil change, with no major engine work. Naturally I figured that must be a good oil in the max.

So who has the most miles on their Nomad?
WIth no major engine work. I would define major engine work as anything that requires the engine to come out of the frame even partially out.

For the sake of this discussion we will not count changing engine mounts because that can be done one at a time without removing the engine in most cases.

I guess this could have gone on the main board or the garage but I figured it was more for braggin mileage than discussing repairs. Or at least that was the intent.

So Trip if it gets off topic feel free to move it.

Oh yeah, I am not bragging anything other than getting 10,000 miles out of my stock stones. Although I think I am about 2800 miles overdue.

I'm out because they had to take the engine out to replace the POG in December.

I have about 60,000 now with no engine work.

That's what I'm talking about.

Sold mine at 63,000, but it had the POG replaced so the engine was out. Only affected the 99's and wouldn't have had to come out in the time I owned it otherwise.

I wonder where it's been in the last 5-6 years and if it's still on the road?

Someone here probably owns it.
