Picking up my favorite............I'm sad to say.

I saw one with 350K at the mechanic in Raleigh that I deal with periodically. Unfortunately for that fellow, the head was removed because the tensioning rail finally decided that it was done...........pieces of the aluminum were separating at the bottom of the rail.

The cylinders still looked perfectly acceptable for ongoing use.

Unfortunately, the fellow was really out of options because the head did crack in two places at some time in its past.
