Re: 200 Z24

its a strong solid engine, the original engine was designed to be a racing engine. The bottom end is nearly bullet proof. One guy got it up to 1200 HP. This as long as you take proper care of it. Some people have had problems with the water pump going, and if you let the oil get low (which it shouldnt as long as its take care of) people have been spinning bearings.

Re: 200 Z24

Yea spinning bearings is the biggest thing with these motors just keep enough 5w30 oil in that thing and you will be ok.
