Question

The Valve cover gasket was replaced at 50,000 miles and now I'm told it needs to be replaced again at 110,000 miles, is this normal? Also, is it normal to replace struts at 110,000 miles?

    The Valve Cover gasket can go out every 60k or so. Are the Struts making your ride rough? Are they noisy? 110k is not unreasonable for Struts, but if they still work fine, then don't replace them.
