Changed the original valve cover gasket, and timing chain tensioner over the weekend. The VC gasket around the spark plugs was very hard and brittle, cracked apart upon removal.
I'm the original owner. It's been very reliable. Only other non original parts on the car are intake gasket, and struts. Other than wear items of course; brake pads, battery, etc. Car has had all different types of oil. But the last couple years it's had Rural King synthetic, and cheap oil filters, changed at about 5-6k miles. Still drives like new. Original O2 sensors, mpg same as original. Maxlife ATF; changed every 30-40k miles, or if it starts to look darker.
