I agree on the 268K it owes me nothing at this point, but with the oil consumption low as it is I think with some care I can limp into 300K ville if I am lucky. As you said doing the whole valve train would be great, but to be honest I think I should not invest too much into this motor until it gets pulled and has a proper refreshing. I can deal with a coil or two, but if it breaks a valve spring I will just decide it is time. And I am on the fence about the lifters as the cost is bordering what I think might be too much. Tough call for me.
I want to replace them all along with the rods and rocker bolts, but I think I will have to try to shake the sticky ones free with cleaning and see what happens. I know whatever I use to break stuff loose has the drawback of breaking something loose that then clogs a bearing journal and causes a bottom end failure, or causes some seal to degrade causing leaks or consumption, so I am kinda torn on which way to go. I have to do something as cant drive it now and don't want to get rid of it.
Decisions Decisions lol
