Fordman302 - Thanks for the info. I was really hoping it could be just an adjustment to get us through for a little while longer. Its not like many people got the money to go and drop it all on a new car. I do feel confident enough to tackle the job. I have been working on cars for quite some time now but as I said I own all Chevy's except for my CBR. If I did decide to tackle the job it would have to be a weekend thing because she is very dependant on her car. Plus I might as well adjust all the lifters while I am there. Do you still know the torque specs for them from when you did it? I quickly priced out the new gaskets for both the intake and valve cover gaskets and they run about $50.00 each set.
Tony2005 - Oil was done approximately 1,800 miles ago and I only run valvoline in any vehicle I get my hands on. I have not tried a engine restore yet but with the higher miles it is something to consider.
