Who has the highest miles on an RX1 without engine repairs?

[Bob Miller]

The 03 rings were/are notorious for allowing oil consumption..... in 04 they changed the part # of the ring, and that's the update.... Some guys used lots of oil, some still use none, but the part # changed so there was an 'unofficial update' of sorts....

Looks like the 03 and 04 have the same part# 05 was the year of "THE CHANGE"
