Depends on what you class as high miles 125k on the one im working on now 130k on the one in my red truck both sweet as you like no smoke at all i wouldnt think 200k+ on one of these engines would be a problem as for the vauxhall unit they are shite wouldnt touch it with a barge pole.
Last car i bought with what i sold bits for and what i weighed in engine cost me a shade over £30 cant get better value than that :)
