skyline hit the nail on the head!

I'm at 136K on my N62. I'm freakin sick of fixing all the major problems on this car and if i didnt DIY I would have sold it long ago because the cost would be astronomical to maintain at a shop.

the only reason I keep the car is because I love the driving dynamics as a utility type of daily driver, it looks good, and it's paid off!

but yea, among other things, I've done the valve stem seals, alternator bracket oil seal, motor mounts, all upper oil seals, coolant pipe, water pump, and valley pan gasket. All major time consuming repairs.

Pushrod, I'm afraid you still have to worry about the valve stem seals. That was by far my most time consuming repair of any car I've ever worked on, short of completely removing an engine
