Approximate mileage equivalent. These could be very realistic numbers, annual run time could even be more.
24hrs X 7 = 168hrs per week X 26wks per year =4,360hrs per year X 60mph = 262,080 mi. per year X 21 yrs service = 5,503,680 Total equivalent miles on old "Baluar". No wonder she has a contankerous attitude. So if she drinks oil, rattles, smokes, clunks, and complains, I figure she earned her dues.

We do know it's been long blocked once and probably valves more often.
All motors run much longer pumping than in vehicles.
What is it? Constant rpm, temperature, oil circulation?
