Thanks for the hospitality StephenVA! I am also a DIY guy, but I also have an excellent mechanic that does side job work for me. When I can't do it myself, I give him a call. He already quoted me $200 labor to change the valve covers and spark plugs. I plan to keep this car for a long time, so I'm just trying to come up an extensive list so I can buy all the parts I can, and then drop off the car to him. I really appreciate all the suggestions so far!
