How long did it take that 'bad misfire' to kill your cat????

I was driving home and the horrible misfire started. I was around 5 minutes away from my house so I drove her home. The crankcase vent was making a high pitched whistle. I ended up replacing the valve cover, gaskets, breather hose, sparkplug seals, OFH gasket, oil cooler gasket, ignition coils, spark plugs, replaced the flange on a thermostat hose (# 11537541992) that started leaking after removal with a Reins aluminum flange. (# CHC0609) Also cleaned out the crankcase with seafoam spray and did a hot oil change w/ fresh Mann filter. Used all OEM parts except for the hose flange which is OE. I think I should be good with maintenance for a while
