I’m going to order the metal oil filter housing but what else should I be preemptively changing? Water neck? Which lines are particularly prone to failure or should they just all be done? Any other upgrades available besides the filter housing?
Trying to keep it reliable… (perhaps a futile goal?) If I’m going to end up slowly piecemeal replacing a bunch of stuff I’d sooner just do it all at once and save a roadside failure. Thanks

So i just went through this entire process myself and one thing I learned is there are 2 different cooling systems, old and new 2020 up uses the new so you dont have the gooseneck and the oil filter housing is a 5 bolt housing instead of a 4 bolt, what went on mine was the coolant line from the expansion tank to the block, had to remove the intake manifold for that. I also upgraded to a aluminum oil filter housing and changed the Heat Managment module
