And the...
HBV
Wishbone
Camcover gasket
Dis pack
Crankshaft sensor

changes that virtually no V6 would get to 100,000 miles without. Let alone 200,000.

Add an ICV and exhaust manifold studs for the 2.0.

We've come on a lot though. I do love old Fords but a '60s auto would need a complete engine and gearbox rebuild at 60-80k miles. Vxs the same back then. In fact I learned my spannering skills doing exactly that with my Dad.  :y

179k on my 2.5 facelift. Still really sweet. Oil changes every 10k (I know some like to do them every 3k but mine has not suffered as a result) Not doing anywhere near the mileage I used to though
