i havent touch it. runs strong so i havent given it much effort. But now I have a slight oil leak, looks like it's coming from the rear of the valve cover on the same side as the stripped spark plug (passenger).

i'll likely get the kit (autozone Part Number: 036-1580) that replaces the spark plug tube seals.

i'm going to have a mechanic remove the last plug and replace the gaskets. i use a mobile mechanic that makes house calls.

i also have most of the dash lights out... another mechanic job

i have to say i'm not complaining, for nearly 13 years old this car doesnt give me much trouble.
