I've replaced several that had 1000 to 10,000 total miles before failure.
I've seen them come off the shipping crate with 3 times the allowable
crankshaft endplay. Saw one that had a rod knock upon initial start up.
Possable failure in 0 hours running is the other side of your coin. If you
check the archives, 3 to 1 at least of GEX owners would never buy another
due to failures with the first.
