With a good maintenece schedule, they could easily pull over 200k. Frank McCoy aka Mod-deth aka Mid Life Crisis aka SVT Doood aka mcgainer is a SCAM ARTIST Pre98 Zetec - Some Mods

Just off the top of my head: -Regular Fluid Changes (Oil, Coolant, Brake, etc.) -Front & Back Complete Brake Job -Spark Plugs - 2x (Currently Autolite Double Plats) -Wireset (Magnecor) -Waterpump (PITA ) -Timing & Serpentine Belts -Battery - 2x (Currently Diehard Gold) Anything else wasn't really becuase of the engine. I'm not sure if the brakes can count either. For the most part, if you take care of the car it'll take care of you. Except for the first-edition Focuses, those things were owner-eaters. 2000 Mystique LS Duratec 2.5L MTX

I also had about that same amount on my contour when my daughter wrecked it. Neither engine had any major repairs. I did a lot of other repairs to the cars, but not to the engine itself. Both engines are (were) running good, good power, good fuel efficiency, using no oil. I've had a lot of trouble with sensors, electronics, etc, but the basic block, rings, bearings, cams, etc have been bullet proof so far. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6
