I ordered a bunch of parts for thepartsbin.com last year.

So far, the parts that have gone bad (30K miles)
-a pvc oil trap hose has gone bad (it got tiny cuts all over it (rubber hose)
-oil cap gasket (began leaking again)
-engine mount (changed last april) (this is a bitch. It's the oil filter side one. It shurk and has dipped in. I barely have less than a few mm of clearance left between the oil filter and the mount. I can't even fit in an oil strap wrench on the filter. Utmost care in not allowing any oil on the mount during oil changes. The previous mount was ok, and I just changed it as maintance). Kind of pissing me off as I removed one eye hook of the engine when I'd removed the intake manifold. And I don't like the idea of jacking up the engine from the oil pan.
