2- 3 years unless something breaks. I have the best valve springs I could get and the crank and rods are also the best available so given that it should be as reliable as the old engine. Everything was perfect on the old engine and it was 3 years old. Valve springs had the same pressure as they did when installed and
the new ones are a higher grade of steel. Bearings could have been reused too. We change fluids regularly and spin the dry sump pump when ever the car sits too long.
