I experience none of the above.

120,000mi. (Need a new timing belt now). There are plenty more people with higher mileage without problems...

I bet they haven't been taken too good care of...

BadAZZ -- search the forum for info, then start a new thread about it, if you haven't already...

Well i was on protegetech for a year and a half and ive been on here for almost a year now and ive seen plenty of posts about this problem. My friend who works in a mazda dealership said its common to get them in for burning oil also. So please jesse explain to us why a 950 dollar bp motor with say 75k is better than a bpt motor with say 37k for 1000. Inless u have a good condition bp motor to swap in to turbo charge or u have a bp already in ur car to turbo charge i dont see the point ur trying to make for like 50 bucks more u get a better condition turbo engine ? . With injectors and a cool turbo sticker. so u save 50 bucks and have to go get valve seals and install them ... im confussed.. Jon

As far as i can tell its not that big of a difference when ur just looking for 200 hp. Maybe 1 or 2 psi difference. It only makes a huge difference when ur looking for higher amounts 250 plus . I think we know that the lx head is better thats all ur trying to prove . Thats cool make the same power with 1 or 2 psi less dont worry ur motor has 100 thousand miles on it and ur beating the crap out of it ....Lame .....Jon
