I am looking for opinions on LT1 preventative maintenance, beyond just changing oil and filters. My RMW has about 130K miles on it, and runs well, at least for its age. Around 110K miles I put a new water pump drive, timing chain and front seals on the motor, as there was substantial oil leakage. Turned out the water pump drive bearing had worn, so that the shaft was whipping about. Had nearly destroyed the splined coupling to the water pump. Anyway, at that time I also replaced the water pump, cleaned up the OptiSpark, and replaced the plugs and plug wires.
But are there other parts which might catastrophically or annoyingly fail at this mileage? Do people swap out the injectors? Hydraulic lifters? Specific sensors?
Basically, repairs without taking out the motor?
Or is it just "too much time on my hands"?
