In that case you don't need the engine out ; just remove the head and strip it down  
Replace all gaskets when you reassemble , new camshaft oil seals , new valve stem oil seals ,grind in the valves after checking the guides for play , do check the head face for flatness etc etc .
Or do you really want to go further ?  |
It's done 124,000. Ideally, I would like to change all the gaskets, cambelt, waterpump. With the head off I can check for cylinder wear etc.
The only really advantage with the engine out is I can put in a new clutch and clean up the engine bay.
To be honest the cylinder head is the only oil leak on the car there is nothing else and it had a cambelt and waterpump 2000 miles ago which is a bummer. Aside from a few interior niggles the rest of the car is fine and solid.
