    Over the past week or so I replaced my valve cover gaskets, half moons, cam plugs, spark plugs, spark plug wires, PCV valve and grommet, fuel injectors and fuel injector connectors, checked (but did not change because they all looked pretty good) my valve lash, cleaned my throttle body, MAF, and Tessa taped my wiring harnesses. Still in the process of replacing some vacuum lines with silicone tubing.

    Next up is timing belt, water pump, etc. Special thanks to @Timmah! for valve cover gasket, fuel injector, and valve clearance videos!

    @17taco4x4 How many miles on yours? I'm at 290k. Curious since your valve train looks similar to mine.
