Knowing the age and mileage of the motor might also indicate when it might be time to look at replacing/rebuilding things like roller lifters (if it has them).

I agree that 300 at the wheels is already a pretty healthy combo.

the engine was built in to what is now in 2005 it had 5400klm on it at that stage, its upto 9500klm now so, i was going to get the dyno bloke to lift the tappet covers off as it sound like a flat tappet cam and check clearances,
All i can see from the reciepts is the heads manifold, roller rockers, carbie and cam, but no details on the cam, previous owner is not sure about it, apart from the fact that he was there when the first dyno was done.
there was a mention from the engine builder that the carb and the fuel pump may of been down graded at some stage as he was worried about the last owner rapping it around a tree,
but he has lost the paper work on the cam.
