The truck got a new short block at 100k due to a headgasket campaign via toyota (free) but the van is all original. The valve covers started leaking the past 20k, I am going to be replacing the seals and adjusting the valves, etc. Videos for everything

My 1992 accord is still running (150k). That's 17 years old. How often do you see 17 yr old Ford, Dodge etcs on the road aside from the classics? I haven't seen any that old in months.
