This is for all the Sr owners out there.  do u guys make long distance trips with ur cars?  i'm thinking about planning a trip from Wyoming to California next week in my car.  not sure if it's a wise idea, because of the swap.  It's about a 1,300 mile drive to California. If i do, what kinda things i should be worried about (common problems)? Any tips?  What's the furthest you guys travelled with your car?

well i drove to atlanta and back this past weekend (actually just got home 300+ miles eachway plus driving all over town I put over a thousand miles on it this weekend).  things to watch out for... gas... oil....  bugs on the windshield....  oh and Cops really watch out for them.  seriously though.  its a factory engine ITS NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!!!! theres nothing you have to watch out for on it that you wouldnt watch out for on ANY OTHER car you would drive on the trip.  hell I drive mine from NC to Atlanta (5 hours)  like everyother weekend!  i was down there like every weekend in sept.  and I dont have a water temp guage or an oil pressure guage.  I check the oil when I get there and when I get home.  its not a big deal

Yeah, unless something wasn't installed entirely correctly, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.  Like he said, it's a factory engine with the same reliabilty as the KA.
