Recon engine

I called the company who re-manufactured the engine today and they confirmed it was a completely re-manufactured engine with reground crank and cam, new pistons and rings, reworked valve and a new pump etc etc. Nice to know it wasn't a half arse job but a complete one. Basically as good as having a brand new engine in 2002. Since then the car it came from has been off the road for a year and a half so having talked to the previous owner I would guestimate the mileage to be an absolute maximum of 50,000 if not more like 30,000.
He used it to drive 8 miles to work and back, so even 365 a year would only be 5840 and for 6 years is 35,000.
