Default 80K Service Advice

Guys
The 80K service is around the corner. Just to show its age, the left sunroof latch snapped and I also notice sagging of the right exhaust of the P-car. So there are some other things to do at the same time. So I'm just compiling a list of parts to buy before the DIY servicing begins.

There are some things that I'm not sure of - so what I need is some advice. The car is a 94 C2 Tip.

Should I change the upper and lower valve gaskets ? I was thinking I will just change the lower gaskets. And If I do that - then I might as well get some billet covers to sort the small leak once and for all. Thoughts ?

I'm not too sure what parts I need to service the Tip transmission. Pelican sells a filter, seal, pan gasket, and torque converter seal. Do I need all of these ?

Leaning towards Wevo Blacks - any screws or bolts that I need to get - other than the mounts ?

Any info would be appreciated. Have been searching on the forums as well.

Kind regards

Ken

Sagging exhaust could be due to failed motor mount.

My opinion: don't change the VC gaskets unless leaking. Factory VC covers work fine and don't leak, but torque spec of 7 ft lbs MUST be adhered to.

good luck on the tip part. No experience there...

Reinforce the engine carrier if you are going with mounts stiffer than the factory RS mounts

Any got info on the tip transmission side of things ?
Perhpas I'll have to take pictures and write up my experience for all to share.
