Highest mileage motor? or Why do they always blow up?
Given how often these cars blow up (wattup 16volt), what is the real mileage expectancy of a stock-ish 930 with CIS??? These seem to blow up with alarming frequency. I'm ignoring EFI, which can benefit from wideband O2 fuel trim, knock control, etc. which I believe are critical to longevity on these cars.
Seems to me the mode of failure (outside over boosting) tends to be poor fueling on one cylinder, which causes lean condition meltdown.
So:
Highest mileage CIS motor?
Am I off base in my suppositions?
