Great to see an AU running like clock work after 140,000km. Makes me feel safe to keep mine for a while. I'd have to agree that as logn as radiator coolant and system is serviced regularly you won't have any problems. I can see it going to 300,000km without any dramas as rocker gear, head gasket, piston crank etc were heavily revised from the EL.
