Default While you are in there

Hi All,

I have a 95 C4 with 138k miles. I am planning some work and I want to maximize my investment by doing lots of work at once.

Currently planning on the following:
Re-gear
MWF or DMF and clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, master and slave cylinders
Power steering belt
Remove, clean and paint tins
Valve cover gaskets
Timing chain covers
All vacuum lines
Plugs
Front diff
LPMM with 1"-1.5" cross pipe

I am also considering getting the top end done at the same time. What all does that entail? I know they are the heads machined and do valve seats, but what else do they do? I think I can save a lot by doing this while the engine is out and apart

I have already replaced:
the distributer
Plug wires
MAF
Head temp sensor
O2 sensor
Alternator
Belts
Brakes
Pedal box rebuild and clean
Full 120k service
And lots of non drivetrain stuff such as HVAC servos, spoiler drive etc

Thanks!

Advice appreciated

Mike
