Keep fixing issues when you find them, and don't skip maintenance, and you guys will get here eventually.

If I could do it again, I would, but I'd get a catch can first thing to protect the PCV and RMS.

Wow! Well done, good to hear they can go for so long. I'm at about 125 and I thought that was getting up there.

I'm at 179k miles. Am I the closest one to you on the forums? My end goal was 200k, but you blew waaay past me!!
My repair/major maintenance history in a nut shell: - 2 failed intake manifolds - 2 carbon cleanings - 1 failed PCV plate - 1 failed RMS - Replaced chain tensioner (preventative maintenance)
