In my experience the most common damage to an engine is from contaminated oil. Whether its dirt from a "performance" air filter, water condensation in winter or fuel blow-by. Take care of your oil and it willntake care of you.

I have once seen an engine from a Ford Ranger getting severely damaged after it had the PCV breather fully open, allowing some impurities to get into the oil. There was not even a filter fitted to it...
