Great thread, but if you keep looking for problems, you'll find them. If you are hankering for a new ride, get it and trade this one in or sell privately to someone that needs a car with a very well researched engine.
I guess my ultimate goal here is to try to objectively as possible determine if this engine is healthy enough to make it to 300,000 miles, or another 12 years. I don't really want to sell the vehicle, but I would like to get out of it now while it still holds decent resale value if I can determine it's likely to need major repairs within this time frame. I don't want to have to do any further top end work other than maybe rocker/lifters, so additional head replacements, bottom end work, or a new engine and I'm out.
