For now. But we didn't do all that much to the engine. If it goes I might be willing to get creative.

The engine is strong but does burn a lot of oil. But who knows, maybe it'll last another 100k miles.

We may want to consider modifying the CCV system to reduce the vacuum applied to the system. It could help the low oil ring tension issue and reduce the oil consumption.
