    I’m going to be doing new valve cover gaskets soon.
    It’s so messy now it’s obnoxious. Eventually I think I need to do my oil pan gasket as well, but I can’t tell if it just crap from above or what.

    If anyone has tips ahead of time or knows of anything else that I should do on my 365xxx 3.4 that would be a good idea while I have everything open that would be appreciated

    Any gasket preferences or other items I should replace?

    You might want to add a PVC valve and spark plugs to this list. The 11183-62010 Camshaft plugs (Half Moons) can be cleaned up easily enough so you don't really need them. The 11188-62010 Plugs need to be replaced IMHO since it has a rubber seal on it.
