Default Roughly has long does a piston/sleeve last?

Keeping the temps down is the biggest factor. If you run it on the hot side for performance (270-290) than I'd say you can expect 3-5 gallons. Keep it cool (220-240) and I'd say the upside of 6-7 is reasonable. All this depends mostly on keeping a clean air filter, dirt and dust kills these engines.
