What do you base this on?  Let's see an '86 beast is 9 years old. That 
makes an '85 the magic 10 years, doesn't it?  So, unless you have some 
real statistics for the '83-'85 motors... I'm curious what you base that 
on.  My '84 has over 155,000 miles and climbing ( I know, it's anecdotal).

Are there any good statistics on the life of a VW Water-cooled HO 4-bnager?
