I got 140k on mine and i just replaced the valve cover gasket. Ran a compression check and it turned out no loss in compression at all. Compression was same as it was brand new. 11:1 i believe.

No problem, the point i was tryign to make is that if the head gasket was bad then there would be a loss of compression.

Yes I know that, I was being sincere. Thank you for your post.
