Well, my 617 with 322k on it will still pull an easy 12.0 second 0-60 and started with no problem down to -10F this past winter...

I am however suspicious of the lift pump on my OM601 as it seems like it should have more power....but maybe that's just the 72hp.

They don't last as long as the older Lift Pumps do:
