im new to the KA specs and might purchase a 91 240 for 650$ has a little more than 180,000miles and just wanted to know the engine life on the KA...the motor has somewhat been taken care of (oil change and basic tune ups)

if it was taken care of good and not beat to hell by the previous owner it should run pretty good, my old one had a little less and ran fine

The KA's can make it to 250,000 miles if they aren't beat up. Saw one guy runnin his KA into the ground with about 305,000m.
pretty durable engines and the cast iron blocks are strong, you should just worry about your compression and rings and do your basic compression test.

Also your gaskets, water pumps, and stuff like that. The timing is chain ^^... so that should last for a long *** time. If anything does give out... most liekly ur synchro's in your tranny at 1st and 2nd gear (torque heavy car)

Enjoy your new F/R lego kit
