Have you ever known of a car that lasted 2 years after an engine replacement?

Asked by Kraigmo (9061points) December 4th, 2010

Everyone I’ve ever known who has replaced an engine in a car, including myself, had the bad luck of the engine still failing two years later. Usually these engines are rebuilt, and also if one bolt or mount is wrongly placed, that can quietly destroy a replaced engine over the course of a few seasons. Perfect mechanics are hard to find; even the dealer is risky.

Outside of a mechanic who daily babies his cars… has anyone ever known of a car to last 2 years beyond an engine replacement? If so, why do you think it lasted long, or was it just simply a properly installed engine?
