***High milage Thrashing***

[eves]

hey just a quick question ! my willams is currently at 96k miles!

How likely am i to blow the engine up, or do some serious damage if i Rag my car up the strip at Santapod/York reaching maximum revs in each gear????

Cheers

Not really down to the mileage but if something is going to give it will be under the heavy strain of 1/4 miling.

More down to how well it has been looked after, a certain red 16v ripped out its gearbox mount while dragging but lived to fight on.

if its been serviced normally, itll be fine.

My Williams has done about 30 track days and many a Welsh mountain pass at max revs and is still going strong at 86k miles .

A run up the strip isnt that hard on the engine anyway . Continued high rpm in hot weather around a track is much more punishing .

If its been well looked after its no problem .

The higher the mileage, the faster 16V and Willys get!

Mine had over 100,000 on the clock and did over 2600 trouble free miles on the ring.
