Default Engine Life 2000 Night Train

2000 night Train with 28,000 miles. Had dealer 20,000 mile check up last year. Oil changed every 2500 miles. How long should this engine last? Anyone have first hand experience. Thanks for your help.

With proper maintenance and upkeep 100k to 150k. Your biggest concern is going to be the cam chain tensioners

You should be OK for many more miles especially with that maintenance schedule. Unless you really beat on it
