+1 on pb blaster. If you don't have access to a lift, put the rear tires on ramps and jack up the front end to get at least 24" of clearence. A floor jack, block of wood and an extra set of hands is a must. CHANGE YOUR SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, while you the oppurtunity and the exhaust is out of the way. If your planning on going to poly motor mounts now is a great time to do it, Prothane imo. Spend the extra money and get good gaskets and locking header bolts, changing a gsket after 500 miles and breaking a header bolt in the head suck more than you could imagine.
