most recommend a top end (heads) for 500's at 200-250 hrs. Docmanrich whippled his 525's and made it to I believe 310 hrs.......didn't make it to 311. :(

If they went through the top end and changed head gaskets, etc you should be good for at least another 150 hours, or more depending on how you drive it.
