Started pulling her apart for winter projects today. Projects include, but are not limited to...
Rod bearings
New oil pan drain bolt solution (stripped, was previously helicoliled)
Euro headers/cats/tune
Nix the secondary air pump
New cooling system
Belts/tensioners/idlers
Head gasket, deck the head slightly
Updated Beisan chain guide (I have the beta version, which was a different material than the final)
Valve guides/seals (new stock)
All fluids
Valve adjustment

Nothing is failed, other than elevated lead in my oil. Mostly just doing a 200,000 mile refresh.

... the pile of parts is not small.
