The main engine item that I've had to deal with has been the headgasket around 200k. If I had used MB coolant from the beginning, perhaps I would've avoided gasket, too.
Timing chain on 300k+ 900t, showed only 4mm tensioner extension at 250k when headgasket was replaced. Synth oil changed every 5k. Original trans with redline mtl from 100k on. Center force clutch installed at 125k, still good at 340k.
Balljoints, suspension bushings, now that's another story.
