Valve cover gasket replacement. 204,xxx miles with 5k mile oil changes with synthetic about 80% of the time. Not a whole lot different from what I remember from the first gasket change 50k miles ago. Maybe a little more varnish, but not bad.

More varnish than I'd think for 5k syn changes, but looks good overall. Nice pics!
 
Looks good

Thanks for the effort; the last thing I'd like to do during a job like this (other than listen to rap) is to pull out a camera and take some shots.

Some varnish on some non working surfaces, not an issue for most of us. (except for 1 xbitogr)
 
Found the thread with the last gasket change. My memory served me wrong. It was only 50k miles ago, but it started weeping probably because I didn't clean the surface well and didn't put any gasket maker on the two areas that had it from the factory.

No particular brand. Usually whatever I have on hand that I got on sale or cheap through rebates. Range from Pennzoil to Mobil to store brands. As for weight, mostly 5w30 with some 5w20 here and there.
