My 96 in Ultima made it to around 15,000 miles.........Lifter went bad, ruined the cam, head gaskets were leaking (two head bolts were loose on each cyl.) base gaskets were leaking, etc.
&nbsp\\;
Maybe you will have better luck.

You'll find at least one of the frequent contributors to the 107 Ultima string (still going strong) has a 113.

Seems to be the case with most aftermarket motors. All the ones I see....S&amp\\;S, Revtech, Ultima... seem to be leakers or something at 20,000 miles.

Strokers have the same problems as stock. They just happen sooner.

I believe it is running strong. I just wonder if there is wny out there with 20,000 and running stong. I put on about 10,000 a year. Don't need to swap out a motor in two years.

what are you planning on putting the 113" on&nbsp\\;mulch ?&nbsp\\; not that it&nbsp\\;matters.
&nbsp\\;
i did a search on oil leak in the evo section. it returned 44 posts. 20 of those posts were asking about how to stop oil from leaking out of their&nbsp\\;Harley Davidson evos.
my 107 Ultima has 10000 miles on it and its not leaking ....yet .
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
later......................
