V6 Valve Cover Gasket - Anything Else Along the Way?
2005 V6: I am about the change the valve cover gasket and spark plug O-rings (the O-rings seems to fail every 100k or so for me). Along the way, I think I should be able to change this vacuum line bundle (which has gotten brittle and become tricky to work with)..I think this is it in the image below. I may also change the coolant temp sensor. Anything else that typically may fail or susceptible to degradation? I recently replaced the Venturi tube, but that is easy anyway. I am more interested in things that can only be done with the valve cover off. May as well get it now before it fails and then I have to redo that job.

Most definitely change the PCV Valve Oil Separator if you are not changing your valve cover to a new one. They seem to be hard to find currently but here's an ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/32434541636...BoCTBkQAvD_BwE
