Talking 1993 4wd V6 3.2l

1993
4WD V6 3.2L 5spd
176,000 miles
Major problems: 1) Oil leak due to head gasket @ ~30,000 miles. Part of the fix was installing revised spark plug cables.
Minor problems:
1) Rear power windows don't work.
2) Back window not latching properly (replaced latch spring @90k and need to again now)
3) Intermittent engine ticking when cold or after running engine for long periods at high speed (has not been a problem in a while but when it was, changing oil more frequently seemed to help).
4) Clunk when turning.
5) Gasket in exhaust pipe failed @ 170k - replaced; cheap repair.
6) Engine uses 1 qt. oil per ~1500 miles.
7) Replaced driver side power window switch assembly at ~135k.
Maintenance:
1) Changed timing belt, water pump, and fuel filter every 60k so far.
2) Rear rotors and brake pads replaced at 120k.
3) Front pads (and rear ones again) replaced at 165k.
4) Changed plugs, coolant, and air filter every ~30k so far.
5) Changed PCV valve twice, although probably not needed.
6) Oil/filter changes with 10W-40 every 6-7k.
7) Changed spark plug cables at 150k.
