My engine was rebuilt/replaced at about 203k miles.
Not because it wore out! There can be "other" reasons!
My turbo disintegrated and blew bits into cylinders. Likely because oil change jockey dropped air cleaner nut into intake.
Cost $$$ even back then in 2001 (about C$7k). But good part was that I then had an almost new engine. Rebuilt by an excellent mechanic. 20 years(but only 75k miles) later still going strong.
