My valve cover seals are starting to go so I'm gonna pick up some new ones next paycheck. Curious if there's any other recommended maintenance to knock out while I've got the covers off and I'm down in there? I will be doing it with the motor in the car.
Since you have the valve covers off, it's worth checking out the following:
1. Health of the valve guides
2. Bucket wear if you have a 2.5L or 2005 EJ205
3. Check shims if 2002-2004 EJ205
