Still on the fence.
I do have to do the valve cover gaskets as they leak into the spark plug tubes and create misfires. From a post about this issue here maybe a year ago it's a bit of a PITA with the frame clearance.
Timing belt kit and water pump is also overdue.
Just maybe pulling the engine and doing the whole nine yards is not the worst option. I do have a two post lift but the hanging over the fenders and going deep can be as tiresome as a the latch thingie in the belly when changing a distributor cap on an older Chevy truck.
