If you need a timing chain, water pump, pump back plate or balancer, front crank seal, etc, now would be a great time to just do it.

You can look through one of my albums at what I just broke down and did after getting tired of smelling antifreeze cooking off from the front cover like it seems all SBFs of this gen do. I recently did all the front gaskets again + the pan just because I had the engine out.
