Have put about 3500 miles on mine since the head replacement and no issues.
I can't say that power or gas mileage has improved; the only "symptom" I had was the CEL

How many miles did you have before needing the head swap?

It was about 8,500. Because of the back-order of heads, and because I was leaving for a road-trip summer vacation, I put 3300 miles on it with the CEL on, with no problems or consequences. The head replacement was done around 12,000 miles
