I've got 162,500 What stuff have you replaced so far? I've done the alternator, transmission, both front wheel bearings, every single suspension part in the front with a ball joint, one tranny mount, one motor mount, O2 sensor (warranty), EGR, and timing belt/water pump. Not including the small things like spark plugs, brake pads, rotors, etc. Not too bad for a car that's been driven hard since day one and was the dealership's test drive mule for 75 miles before we bought her.

I just tuned mine up...new NGK V-Power and seafoam engine treatment. I need to get underneath her when it warms up and lube everything up good. I could use a valve adjustment. From the looks of things, this engine will last forever...it's the tranny and suspension that crap out. I can't believe how fast she still is...I raced a new Cougar V6 5-speed on the highway tonight and absolutely kicked his ass several times at high speed.
