Default D2 2K Rockers 103K and counting

So I spent some time this weekend changing the rocker cover gaskets, put 8MM Kingsborne Wires, and Bosch Platinum 4 plugs. 103K miles and they don't look to bad, guess they could use an engine flush. So far I'm real happy with the plugs and wires. Running better at 103K then it did at 72K when I bought it. Pictures below:

take a look at Street Wolf's with almost double your miles - shows what good oil and changes can do.... What kind of oil do you run?

Yes I saw Street Wolf's, very impressive. I run a Mobile 1 synthetic 10W40. But will be changing over to the Rotella in the future. Next project is to replace the transmission pan due to a drive shaft failure. Didn't crack it but dented it and my new Y-pipe. I got real lucky. Was even luckier when I Scored a brand new one for $100 of ebay! It had the greasable u-joints and always greased them...then one day Pow at 45mph. Was able to shut it down fairly quickly before to much damage. Will post pics when I do the job.
