Lets say whatever car you have from a bolted LS, to a loaded to the ***** TC. Whatever time you run lets say at 30k 40k (engine is well broken into) now lets age it a little and say it has 100k 110k, but you replace everything when needed and continued your routine maintence will you see the same times you ran with at 40k or will the times drop dramatically like a second or two? (sorry that their was little to no puncuation) gf is rushing me off to celebrate our 6 month)

so your telling me a car that runs a 14.0 at 25k will run exactly the same at 125k?

if the car is maintained,why should it change?

CinciSS07

Even better, you took the time out of celebrating an anniversary with your girlfriend to post a question. And a fairly dumb one at that.

if you dont maintain the car yes, you can get gunk build up on the valves, ur engine will go to **** if you dont properly maintain it, change ur oil every 3k, do your coolant every 50k, basic maintanence, seafoam it every now and them, dont see why it should get slower...

HolyJerex212

so you mean to tell me that after 125K miles of use your piston rings may have blowby and compression wont be affected at all ?!

theres always a possibility for change especially when you start getting into the high mileage area

JimzSS

compression may change so yes, there could be a difference in performance

yes. key phrase there man.

JimzSS

how would you know when its time for new rings ?lol

i know if it starts smoking, but how about worn cylinders, ost people don't/can't maintain that other than changing there oil.

well if you're not beating on a car. you don't really need to worry about your sleeves wearing. our 91 suburban is at 250k miles and the only thing thats been replaced is the exhaust, radiator, and some gaskets. and its made a trip to toronto and back every year since '91.

but if you're serious about maintaining a car. i would change sleeves, rings, major components every 90k-100k miles

HolyJerex212

most technology today im sure have sensors or monitors to have the computer throw a code when low compression is present

WhiteFiver

Nope. The only way to measure that would be to have a sensor in the cylinder, and that would **** with the airflow/atomization pattern too much.

I dont see why it shouldn't, in fact I was reading an article the other day about maintaning an engine, sorry I can't site you the reference proof lol but the study showed that You can keep a car running fine for the rest of your life and forever if properly maintaining the fluids and replacing filters and parts on its regular scheduled time. and using good gas and oils too

I believe it, I use nothing but the best products, and maintain it perfectly with miles, except for my fuel filter i got luck on that one lol. But so far I just broke 80,000 and I have had not one single problem. And its an LS turbo and I stress the hell out of it running with these so cal guy lol

thre is actually, less compression in one cyl causes a random misfire code to throw
