I know it will all depend on how well it was maintained. Let's just say the average engine?

I'm trying to piece together the history and future of my truck.

I have a 79 4x4 with G180 block and and G200 Head.
I suspect my truck has 189K and cylinder four has a non-fouler.

Mine never lasted that long. I would guess you are approaching a rebuild.

My first Luv, I know it was over 100K miles when I bought. I put on another 100K, at that point below a piston. Fortuanlly the cylinder wall was ok, just need a clean bore. Had to do replace the one piston, all piston rings, and valve job, and it was back on the road.
