Believe it or not, my aftermarket warranty company stepped up to the plate (probably because the car is immaculate and was when the guy inspected it), and agreed to replace my leaking head gasket at 111,326 miles. Warranty runs out at 124,000. Replacing the head gasket also includes replacing all the seals that are taken apart to get to the HG, which is alot of seals and rings. :oh:

Since we're in the engine that far, is there anything else you guys recommend to go ahead and look at, inspect, or to consider replacing? My mechanic suggested to replace the valve stem seals, since my car is burning some oil (about one quart per 1,500 miles). Any comments on this or other recommendations, just so I cover everything while he has this thing taken apart.

Thanks in advance for all comments.
