Basically...we're screwed. May as well just do as you want and pay the piper when you need to, with this one.

I think most top motor failures are due to water damaging the motor. The water accumulates when the drains get blocked. So, if you keep the drains clear, or reduce opportunity for them to get blocked by garaging your car at night, in bad weather or during the winter, you may dodge that bullet for quite some time.
