i just hit 202k miles and still going strong. how did the motor blew?

here's what happened, it developed a large oil leak from the valve cover or head area, it wasn't the valve cover as I sealed that twice, then right stuffed it to the head, it got low on oil, I added dollar general oil to it, a day later it started knocking, so I replaced the rod bearings, the oil pressure never got back to where it was supposed to, but was acceptable so I drove it, was pulling a big hill coming out of phoenix and the oil pressure dropped to nil and never came up, then it siezed, more than likely it was main bearings, I could have saved it by replacing the main bearings but the car was really ratty and not worth repairing so it got replaced with a celica. which has 250k lol and the transmission is going, that is slated to be replaced this week lol
