If they are not turbos, remove the plastic screen from the flame trap and toss it in the garbage. Switch to synthetic oil. Pick a car to drive, then drive it for at least 30-45 minutes to get the engine oil hot before you park it again.

If you have a turbo, look for PTC cleaning.

Part of the PVC R&R involves the hoses which get old and crack, allowing air into the vacuum system. Lack of vacuum will change the engine performance. A plugged vacuum line, PTC, or engine block passage will cause seals to pop very fast.
