5000? Maybe more...

I'd be totally happy with 3000, vs. the 300 or less I've seen lately. Been going through gallon jugs of Rotella T4 like milk with cookies and cereal.
In a week or two, will get that high number for a change, and I won't mind investing in a better quality engine oil.

Hopefully new pistons with a freshly bored cylinder will fit together smoothly, and will bring some other improvements as well.

:woohoo:
