Yamaha engines: how good are they?

[NORMAN]

The Yamaha SHO engine is very good.

I have read a couple of 300,000-400,000 mile stories.

I got ******* lucky with my SHO. The engine still doesn't need a 60k tune up... original water pump and everything.

This is called neglect. Just because it's not "broken" doesn't mean you don't have to keep up with maintenance; the 60k service is called 60k for a reason, if your car is at 135k and haven't even had it's first 60k, it's far from "mechanically perfect".



To answer the OP's question, we all own and love (well some here do sometimes) this car is because of the engine. If the Yamaha isn't sitting in the engine bay, I wouldn't care for the Taurus at all.

I have kept up with maintenance. Belts and so forth have been changed, but the engine still does NOT need a tune up.
So no, it isn't Neglect, I just haven't had to spend money on getting the top 60k done.

Please don't shoot your condescending attitude towards me again

You decide what's "neglect" and what's not. Apparently the dictionaries don't agree with you; I've even underlined the important points in case you still can't comprehend the meaning of this word.

Do you declare a 5 course meal done after finishing appetizer?

BTW, this post is condescending; last, not so much.

Sig. says it. I bought mine with 335,***. I beat it's moral guts out until I broke my motor mounts. Now I'm really tame with it. The look of someone's face when they see the engine 5speed and the tach. It now has 350,***. I will be having the rod bearings changed this summer. They're not bad. I'm just kinda worried.

And it was made perfectly clear to you when you were given this user name that you were only allowed to post questions related to repairing YOUR car, and for that purpose only.

I realize you're probably the stupidest person on the planet, and have either apparently gone off your meds or are in serious need of some, but we're not going to go through this shit again.

Seek psychiatric care. Immediately.
