longevity is 150000 plus for many
pull the engine and then with it out clean everything off and examine
all of the engine bay when the engine is out of the way.  hoses and
connectors and stuff inside will be easier to examine seperately. same
with the engine.  everything can be much more easily examined from all
sides.  Then make sure the fire doesnt happen again by replacing every
hose.
