Bill,

I think it's more about how many hours its had running in saltwater vs how old it is.
The flowing hot saltwater steadily erodes away at the head and manifold cooling passages until some sections get almost paper thin.
Recurring pinhole leaks and cracks are a sure sign that the end is near...
