Dang, if you changed out your head gaskets you would have ran for many more miles. D
Didn't smoke, held good oil pressure...no real issues.

wow, and I thought my 117K opti lasted awhile. Thats crazy. your motor dosn't look bad for that many miles, Ive seen worse on cars with just over 100K If you take care of them they can run a long time.

Has anyone else ever had a motor mess up like this? Seems like stuff always happens to me that no one has ever heard of!

the bearings look great. almost better than my 87k motor i took out. thats what happens when the engines get put together correctly rom the factory. that engine has been taken care of extremely well. i agree, put it in a case.
