.15-.18 life span
How many gallons are most of you guys getting out of .15-.18 engines with 20% fuel and tuning that isnt too lean? Ill be buying a new engine soon and was just curious what to expect.

RE: .15-.18 life span
It all depends on how you treat it and what the quality of the engine is
If you can't tune and treat it bad it wont last a gallon
If you get dirt into it, you'll ruin it on the first tank
However, if you tune it well, run it slightly rich, warm it up, use ARO, keep the temps right etc etc I've heard of engines lasting 10 gallons (though usually they don't last that long)
On average though, I think you should easily get 5
