Thanks for the input. Would you consider an 4.8is that had 130k which already had the valve stem seals done?

If you try to do the valve stem seal job with the engine in place it's horrible, and if you pull the engine to do the valve stem seals then it adds a whole lot of extra labor. You don't get all that much extra power with the 4.8 anyways.
