99 sport Sohc hitting the 200,000 mile mark

[biggiesize]

Im hoping that i dont jinx anything by posting this but I just had to post that much to my surprise,my 99 sport with the 4.0 should turn over to the 200,000mile club sometime this week.I replaced the entire cooling system this summer after some cooling issues,and other than the occassional worn out part here and there,she still fires up within seconds of turning the key and still runs like a dream.I never expected it to get this far with all the tranny problems and timing issues in the sohc,but 12 years and 200,000 miles later,she is still putting in a good days work.

148,000 miles on my SOHC - original engine. Only thing I ever had to replace was the alternator and battery.

I've had to...
-fix/replace valve body gaskets (shift kit install)
-remove engine and fix timing chains.

Still a great engine though, just had some weak points
