Course, there is scheduled maintenance between those numbers. On 2 stroke engines, the rack should be run every 100,000 miles; main and rod bearings should be rolled in every 200,000 miles; injectors should be pulled and pop tested every 300,000 miles along with having the blower and turbo overhauled. All in all, the 2 stroke engines are maintenance intensive, compared to the new 4 stroke engines that just require an initial valve adjustment at 60,000 miles, then when ever power loss is felt-and no scheduled injector or bearing replacement in 1.2 million miles.

And the other Newell engine, the Cummins VTA 903 engine, what life expectancy and maintenance requirements would you estimate it would have?
