524,000km/328,000mile 2015 Mirage amazing, engine teardown extravaganza

[Fummins]

I wanted to see how long I could make the title for this thread. Because I like turtles.

Today I want to have an adult conversation about gardening and how ph levels in the water you feed your plants affect growth. Please, keep non-gardening posts to other threads or you'll have your fingers lopped off as per new forum rules.































































































































I'll try to piece together a quick vijeo of the inards of what I consider a high mileage Mirage engine. I'll dig up a clip showing the noise this one was making. It was similar to what my first 2014 sounded like with 36k kms. It felt a bit down on power as well.

This car had 12k km oil changes done for the first 400,000km and used mainly on the highway doing 70mph putting on over 500km/day on average. Ran 0w20 it's entire life. Started with mobil 1, then klondike around the 250k km mark(in early 2017).
Here's a sneak peek.
