I'll get some pics up tonight of the oddball filter, I've seen the clear one before, so I'm kind of confused by what I see on this car.

I think the first step is the valve adjustment, have to find those special wenches it looks like. Followed by a serious steam clean of the engine, and chassis. Then fluids, and motor mounts...would it be worth while to just pull the engine?
If you're up to the task of puling the engine and have the equipment, I think it might be worth considering. If you've got everything out in the open its really easy to do a thorough cleaning and replace stuff that can be a pain in the car. Same for the transmission - pull them together. You'll also get a chance to really clean up the engine bay too.

Most will probably take tho opposite view, but during my swap I had the engine in and out so many times I can practically do it in my sleep - 4 hrs out and 5 hrs in.
