For some reason,  12\'a engines just seem to on for ever.  a lot seem to get 100k easily.  Must be to do with the power output.  As the engine produces more power the engine life drops by the same percentage.

450 bhp   i would be happy to see 20k miles.
250 bhp   stock one about 60k miles
190 bhp   stock TII about 80k miles
125 bhp   first gen, minor mods, 100k

there must be a formula for this.... anyone good at maffs?
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!
