lesson of how not to work on your engine.
I guess we complain about cam issue but according to Eric, head gasket in minivan is much much much more worse.

Minus the forbidden glitter and the disconnecting rod, that engine is surprisingly clean for 120k miles. I know the Pentastar is port injected, but I expected more crud buildup and definitely more damage to the cams.

He wasn't using mobil-1 OW-30 oil and he most assuredly didn't change it enough. 😉
At least every 1k miles is the bare minimum. You should also wait 6 business days after starting the engine before you start driving.

I also started adding ice cubes to my coolant and it improved my MPG.
