One of my sons drives an 01 SE and besides the normal timing belt/water pump service the only other engine-related things that have needed doing are:
* SAI pump and valves. I found that I can clean the valves and they are OK for awhile. The SAI pump will fail if you don't keep on the check valve maintenance.
* Oil filter blank plate gasket on the block. It'll start leaking after awhile. A small pain to get to.
* Turbo. The GT17 will wear out its seals and blow oil in progressively greater amounts. Replacing the core isn't too difficult or expensive.
The V6 is smoother than the I4 and a nice highway car.
