Begs the question ...
Why will they work for 120,000+ miles over 30+ years--mine did--then only
go 10,000 after a proper rebuild (inc. re-sleeving if necessary).
I'm presuming this isn't because of the cylinder wall hardness breaking down
or being destroyed by honing, which we've established is a no-no.
