Re: How many miles on your conversion

The 12 valve that is in my 88 has been in there about 14 years and I have probably put about 70K to 80K on it.

2000 - I had to remove an inline fuel pump that was restricting fuel flow to the lift pump. It was one of those small square electric fuel pumps that the mechanic had put in to prime the system. I also had the injection pump and two injectors rebuilt.
2003 - water pump went out
2005 - slave cylinder on the clutch went out
2007 - replace the fan clutch
2008 - clutch master cylinder and connecting rod pushed through the firewall due to improper/poor installation when converted in 2000
2009 - fuel restriction in right fuel tank due to the factory gasoline electric fuel pump still in the tank. I had to remove the pump and extend the draw straw.
2011 - replace leaking head gasket the head gasket

I am very glad I had this thing converted. I just wish I had done it sooner.
