30 years and 270k miles. Blown head gasket on the 1986 Chrysler turbo 2.2. Water in the oil. In the process of replacing the head gasket and thought I would get a pic of the cam. Wear seems normal for a 30 year old 4 cylinder. I use nothing but the cheapest oil and filters. Most turbo 4's do not survive this long for various reasons but this one was going strong until the head gasket let loose. Head gaskets are a know problem on this engine. They always fail in the same place by #1 cylinder. #1 was the only one with water on the plug. She will be running fine soon.

My 88 K had a bad head gasket when I got it.Water in the oil....and still driven nearly daily by the previous owner.The insides were clean,bearings in great shape,still had cross hatching on cylinders.Those 2.2s hold up well under adverse conditions.
 
I had a 90's Mopar performance catalog once. Along with V8 and slant six performance parts, there was a selection of hi-po parts for the 2.2 & 2.5 turbos.
