After the car was running a bit poorly I discovered that there is a little oil weeping from the head gasket. The car has also been blowing a little blue smoke from the exhaust if it has been sat idling so I assume the valve stem seals have also gone.
I am going to have the gasket and seals replaced but should I have any other work done while the head is off?
What would I be stupid not to do, what would be recommended, and what would be nice to do?
Does the timing chain need replacing?
Would having the head skimmed would be worthwhile to get back some lost horsies?
Oh, it's an L28 with an N42 head.
