the speedo was intermittent during this time and did not fully register all the kms. (canada) but the owner guesses around 300,000.

That's like 186,000 miles on NO oil change?!? You need to run a compression test immediately. It's really easy, pm me if you need any help

RE: unfair treatment
NO the odo should read around 300,000 in general. he thinks it was about 80-100,000 without, but still it is cause for concern. i did the basic check of running the engine with the oil cap off to detect blow by through the piston rings and detected no more than other high compression 4 cylinders. but a compression check is more definitive. what PSI should i be shooting for? and how much difference is allowed among cylinders before problems are evident?
