The great thing about pulling out your engine 'just because' is it cuts down even further on actual miles driven, indefinitely putting off the imminent IMSB doom (:rolleyes).

KK, do you do your own housework by chance? If so, I'm wondering how many times you replaced the drywall to install new lights and such? Maybe take down the entire ceiling to clean the HVAC ducts?
