    Hey Y'all,

    The valve cover gasket has been leaking for a while and I will be fixing the problem in a week. I ordered a valve cover gasket set, spark plug wire set, intake manifold gasket set, and will be replacing the PCV valve.

    My radiator was replaced a few years back, but since I will taking a lot of parts off to tackle the gasket jobs, is there anything I should be thinking about replacing?? Water pump, thermostat, oxygen sensor?

    Fluids such as power steering, brake fluid, transmission, differentials. Grease your drive train. If you did any recently then don't worry about it. I wouldn't worry about the water pump till it starts leaking but if you want to go ahead and do it and the thermostat . Check your ball joints and if you have a v6 they have timing belts. Do check the valves since your tearing into it.
