Impressive. Give yourself a gold star and a tasty chilled beverage of your choice!
As always any engine looks good on a long term usage of Mobil 1.
Wow, that's a lot of miles you have on that Fusion too. Considering trading it in for something else before long?
What was the reason for changing of the VC gasket? Did you by chance check your compression? I just replaced a 2.0 in the Transit as engine had a weak hole at 180k. Donor engine came from a low mile Focus with 7k miles. The Duluth hills pile up the cars pretty good. Should be a new supply after this week.
I think these posts will be ignored by the Ford bashers and the 0w20 haters...........
Nice!!!!!!!

The gasket was beginning to weep oil. No compression check as the engine still runs fine.

No, the car still performs very well.
Good to hear! I think I'm going to run mine until done as its not worth much anymore. Do you still have the original air filter setup? And the swirl plates in the intake?

Does yours have the Aisin automatic, or the 6F35?

I scraped out the life time air filter 2 1/2 years ago, and replaced it with the Doorman after market filter housing. I have no idea what the swirl plates are.

Not sure, but I doubt if it's the Aisin.

Understood. Oil gets into plug wells and screws them and or the coils or just starts to stink up things getting on to the exhaust etc

The BMW in my sig was run on M1 it's whole life by OP
When you opened it up, it looked as clean as the spark plug area in the OP;s pics.
Like I said, I'm surprised it's not cleaner.
I'm sure others on here with M1 experience will agree.

About 3500 miles.
Mine Gott, any oil, even a basic dinosaur one will keep a block clean with such a short OCI. M1 is a real good cleaner, so it might have cleaned out the varnish or sludge from the bad gasket causing the weep.

My Focus looks identical (no sludge etc) running Motomaster Supreme conventional oil for 5k miles OCI;s.
How many miles on your Focus? This has 314,000Km on it when you convert it and run on 16,000Km OCI's.
