1) If the engine is non-interference, could I just roll the dice and drive it more than 80k miles before changing the TB? The only downside is that the tow truck cost may be high. What's the easier way to check the TB? The TB cover has 4 bolts and one of them is way in the back, actually requiring the engine mount to be removed to get to. Is there an easier way.
After seeing how well my Accord TB look at 110k miles I am not in the hurry to change the Corolla TB, which also have 110k miles but had TB changed @ 54k miles.
2) Should I change the WP too? It seems that WP should last a long time and should cost 2 hrs to change if done in conjunction with TB. I like to not have to spend much more money on this car.
3) Beside discomfort, is there a reason to change out struts/shocks that are old and possibly shot? Gas mileage is still very good in the mid to high 30s.
