I get the sentiment. I have a '94 Impala that has about 60K on a rebuild, and it was tight as new for several years. Lately it's gone through oil cooler hoses (again), the oil filter/adapter gaskets/o-rings, and now it appears to have developed a timing cover seal drip, behind the Opti distributor. It looks like Round 3 is about to begin for me, sparring with drips. I don't really feel like pulling a good-running engine again just to resolve seals and gaskets, but it's almost that frustrating and would buy me another 10 years of peace of mind.
