Yeah I believe the mechanic changed those too..I'm not completely sure. Here's what was on the invoice..
  1. Motor Oil <Synthetic>
  2. Oil Filter
  3. Cam seals (4 count)
  4. Valve cover gaskets
  5. Intake gasket set
  6. Timing chain tentioner
  7. Pcv valve
  8. Coolant
  9. Valve stem seals <HP Silicone> (24 count)
  10. BG induction system cleaner treatment
  11. Front Crank seal

Wow, that's hefty. I'm getting a few estimates. I'll let you know what comes out of it.

I have the same OC issue and I have been measuring it overtime and so far I have put 2.5 at over 3500miles. I am thinking about have the cylinder honed and bored a tiny bit so I'm not too far off from stock. Idk exactly how to go about this. I have 94k mi and I use Lucas synthetic additive and I mix 1qt with 4qt mobile full synthetic 10w30 hi mileage. Any advice will help. I am literally flying through plugs and oil.

So I just rolled over 4k miles and I have topped the oil off with 4qts. I'm changing my oil tomorrow. Any suggestions to fix this?
