SO this car is pretty much a money pit. I'm not gonna turbo it, I'm not gonna 2.2 or 2.4 it. I give up. I just want my reliable daily driver back until my next car. So I'm about to drop quite bit o cash into replaceing my timing and HG etc. What is next. seems to be one thing after the other so far. I'm thinking this should be good for a while.

I should be good for another 60K right?? What's next?

replace ur lifters and do a compresion check just to see how ur rings and valve seals are doing. Replace ur oil pump and water pump, JUST IN CASE.

well I have that evil HG oil leak on the drivers side corner do to Satans mitakes and they were recomended to me as a replacement. What else can I do, I was under the impression that I could shave a mm or 2 of a new set of oem bolts. Can that be done?

I took three threads off that corner bolt. 181 miles so far, no problems yet as far as the head gasket goes.

just do your timing belt and pulleys, water pump if it has never been changed. keep up on the regular maintenance stuff like oil changes, etc. I'm at 165K now, if you take relatively good care of your engine it should still last you a good while longer. there was a post a while back about how long our engines should last, there were a few replies with ALOT of miles on them
