The front jug is leaking oil pretty badly...time to replace the head gasket. While the engine is rotated, what other work is generally recommended? |

Intake seals, cooling fan if old, insulate the inner frame surfaces with Thermo-tec (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/the-13575). |

Great suggestion, Hughlysses. I'll do that. I'm ordering a mess of gaskets/seals from St. Pauls. Anything missing?

Head gasket rarely causes an oil leak, now rocker covers and the big seal around the PCV breather likes to leak. Pushrod o-rings? |

You're probably done with the job by now; but if not I'd replace the O2 sensor. |
