400k is nearly impossible for a gas engine....

totally doable. its when they sit and IDLE all the time that they get killed really.
with good maintenance, any gasser can make it to a million, if you keep idling time to a minimum.
I know on older gas engines with carbs, idling would let fuel accumulate and wash oil off the cylinder walls, which is why they didnt last. diesels dont have that problm because diesel is somewhat of a lubricant in a way.
