I was changing the belts a couple of weeks back and noticed some oil leakage around and above the water pump. I pulled the pump and realized that the leakage is coming from the head and valve cover gaskets. The timing belt was oil soaked, so I thought I'd change that. Long story short, my father drove over this morning and we pulled off the head in a few hours work. Half of everything under the hood is now disassembled!

Since the engine has 240,000 on it, I'm going to have the valves ground and the camshaft polished, and I will have to replace all the gaskets on the head and any seals I can reach on the front end of the engine. I figure I should replace the O-ring seals on the fuel injectors also, replace the heater hoses going to the firewall...

Starter rebuild? Flame trap & breather box maintenance? Anything else I should do while I'm in there?
