Well, I just finished. I put it off and just got around to it this past weekend. I didnt bother with the head gaskets. I had to do a little extra cleaning while I had it apart. When I took the valve covers off it was a ton of oil sludge build up. I was careful cleaning and used a shop vac to suck up the chunks while scraping. I also fallowed up with a rinse with aerosol break parts cleaner with the shop vac. Im happy, It all came pretty clean. It's running nicely but Im picking up some codes with the scanner. I'll wright up another post with the codes but Im getting PO650 MIL Control Circuit Malfunction and PO449 EVAP Emission Control System Vent VLV/SOL Malfunction. I looked around online and found to check around the rear of the driver side for the EVAP vent. I read that is a common problem with our cars. But as for the MIL Im guessing it may be the engine service soon bulb thats burnt out. It wont even illuminate in the beginning when the car has just started. I'll have to pull out the cluster to see if it's the culprit.
