Yes,
This engine had sludge issues- then low oil pressure.
I replaced Most of the crank bearings at 135k, so now it maintains oil pressure. it is at 202k now.
The timing is worn out-the chain needs to be replaced and the lifters are rattling.
I am looking forward to putting an engine I rebuild into it (will pick up a lower milage engine to rebuild) but my point is that I would bet you have a long way to go before the engine fails you.
FYI, we drove our 99 9-5 6 cyl to 280k. At 150k, Two of the cylinders had much lower compression than the others.
