My car now has 208,000 miles on it and has yet to be rebuilt. What benefits does a rebuild offer and when should you really do one?

Its time for a rebuild whenever the motor begins loosing compression and burning oil. When the motor looses compression your loosing power, and when its burning oil you'll see blue smoke coming out the exhaust wether on idle or hard acceleration, during this period you'll have to top up your oil between oil changes to keep it fill between the safe marks. The mileage its gonna be at when it begins this varies, because it is affected by how well the owner treated the engine, in terms of oil changes, lots of hard driving etc This post has been edited by cax_11: Mar 17, 2011 - 1:36 PM -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 Turbo 4WD, Black
