Default s2k engine over-haul/rebuild

Back where I come from anything over 70,000km is considered a high mileage engine which translates to 35,000 miles i think( 1mile=2.2km) , and most of the time around 100,000km it will be rebuild and overhauled( new piston rings , valves , retainers etc).

and now my s2k is at 65,000 miles and i wonder when should I rebuild or what are the tell tale sign of an engine needing an overhaul.


hope to hear your opinions guys

You should be good to go well past 200,000 miles as long as you take care of it.
