How about a different idea. You replaced a lot of seals and gaskets. Is it possible that you cured a good sized vacuum leak and the engine is now running too rich? That might explain why it's...

Now why didn't I think of that? I measured the old and new strut housings and found that the inside length was 3mm shorter on the new housing. (Is this normal?)

Got to 260000 km (about 160000 m) before it broke a valve spring. While I had it open, I couldn't see any sign of any earlier work by the previous owner(s). Still going strong after that minor...

Wheel spacers and handling-hypothetical

This forum often has talk of spacers and the main concern appears to be the "look" of having the guards filled better. None of these threads seem to indicate what this may do to the handling.

Remember those are RON ratings. The US uses AKI (according to WIKI). The equivalent ratings are 87, 90-91 and 93-94 AKI.
