I am saying that a motor is only as good as the parts and the machine work that go's in to it. I myself don't know how many miles are on it because I don't have a odomoter. I can tell you that i have beat the crap out of it for two seasons now and it has no oil issues or anything. In fact it is tore down now and you can still see all the honeing in the cylinders. If 347's have a bad rod ratio I would see ware in the cylinders by now from the piston side loading on the wall. A good rule of thumb is... If it is a oil burner from break in it will be a oil burner all its life.
