Message: [QUOTE="SkySki Jason, post: 35584, member: 1118"] My understanding is this is usually only a problem if the jets have been REMOVED for some reason - and IIRC, the only way to insure they don't come out is to tack-weld them in place. So, either leave'em alone or weld them. Definitely studs, springs, pushrods, injectors, etc - while this can be done in truck, I am convinced it will take me less time (DEFINITELY less aggravation) to pull the engine for this work. There are better mechanics than me, but in the time it'll take me to do #7 and #8 valve springs in truck - I can prolly do all 8 on the stand. I highly recommend Motorcraft TA-31 sealant on the oil pan. Pay particular attention to the area below rear main seal where the sealant tends to get squished out as the pan goes on - this is a common leak point. Might as well replace rear main seal too. :shrug: Change ALL of the HPO and fuel system o-rings/vibra-loc sleeves and rebuild the water drain valve. I also think new VC gaskets and UVCH's are a good investment when you are that far in. (do the $0.50 mod too!!)

You might consider 'rebuilding' the oil cooler too - again, its just EASY with engine out and not expensive. How about plenum inserts and t-bar clamps for the heads?
