" But that valve job might not be cheap. I'm looking at appr. $470 to

" or so.

it's probably relatively cheap to do while the head's apart, but you
probably don't -need- to put those hardened seats in.  only if you
anticipate running the engine hard - trailer towing, mountain driving,
etc - would they be necessary.

" Hey, can I go synthetic now? Or since I haven't changed the main seal
" and the oil pan seal, should I still stick to dino oil?

probably you can.  i'd run something like 'gunk' brand motor flush
through the oil system, maybe more than once, to try and clean any
deposits out before switching.  and use a top-quality filter like wix
['napa gold'].
