My 2005 Rubicon has 130,000 miles. As the title says, I'm gearing up to do 3 jobs:
1) Heater Core Leak: Replace heater core and AC evaporator, heater hoses, AC line o-rings, blower motor resistor
2) Cooling System Overhaul: Replace radiator, cap, drain cock, upper/lower hoses, fan clutch, thermostat + gasket, water pump + tube
3) Valve Cover Gasket Leak: Replace valve cover gasket, vent fittings, vent gaskets, oil filler cap
Is there anything else I should be doing while I'm in there? Belt, pulleys, AC hoses, etc?
I have some ticking which I *think* is exhaust. I figure it can't hurt to do a compression test, and I'll inspect whatever I can during valve cover removal (lifter?) Is there anything else I can check while doing all this?
Thank you.
