Spark plugs, oil filter housing, oil/filter change. You're halfway there with the upper intake off to do the plugs so might as well do the rest as the weather is nice. Wrenching in winter sucks.

The coolant hose on the back side was a bear to remove. Fortunately, all 6'4 of me can stand between the rad fan and engine. The job took about 5hrs. Used the Dorman unit.

This is one of the best tools money can buy.

There was oil in the valley just around the backside port. Not sure if it was leaking or I just dumped it from the housing when I pulled it out.
