Bit of a challenge to get everything disconnected and get the valve cover off with the A/C box so close but after about 90 minutes everything was complete. Amazingly clean inside given the age and miles - a testament to regular oil changes and Mobil 1. I'll tackle the other side soon and get a correct breather installed too.
Nice work. Have you ever sent oil sample to black stone ? I just did recently on one of mine and always appreciate the info..

No - Probably not a bad idea given the miles.....
