Removed heads, now if a MB master mechanic would tell me what items are a must do while the heads are out it would be very appreciated.
I hate to not perform the proper repairs while heads are out.
How do you determine if valve springs, shims, valves are to be replaced, do you have to bead blast heads? I am thinking about just washing with degreaser only. Valve seat condition is determined how?

Motor mounts need replacement at this mileage? What reccomendations do you guys have?

I plan on driving the car for many years as a daily driver. 10k miles a year.

The dual chain upgrade was done about 100K miles back. now 175k miles.

Thanks for your response.
