No, its not. My 93 Summit wagon was at 224,000km when I rebuilt it, not
because the valve stem seals and exhaust guides were worn (they were) but
because the teeth finally wore off the flywheel. So I pulled the lot,
rebuilt the engine and put in a new clutch. Should be good for the
remaining
life of the body.
All that will really happen after 100K or so is the oil consumption will
start to increase. Or maybe it won't till 160K. It really depends on what
happened in the first 60K.
