    Yes pulling the whole engine is a lot easier if you want to do everything you posted.

    While youre at it I'd do the real main seal, cam seal, timing belt, etc. It was about 200 at honda for all the seals/gaskets that I was replacing.

      Why are you replacing the head gasket? It's not exactly a 'regular maintenance' item.

                Replacing head gaskets is not preventative maintenance, it's a waste of money. In this case, since the OP is seeing coolant in his oil, it's necessary, but HG's are definitely not a normal maintenance item, preventative or otherwise.

                  200 dollars vs blown motor... hmm what to do, what to do.

                  I'm doing mine because boost will kill it in a day.

                        How am I wasting time? The motor is going to be pushing 250 Im almost positive the first thing that will go is a 15yr old head gasket And besides I have to pull the motor for the clean up and semi-tuck anyways
                        Sh!t why don't I just toss a turbo on there now! I mean replacing all those seals and gaskets would be a total waste of time

                          Aww come on Katie (that is your name right ), just throw that turbo on there and blow up that engine AND THEN build it up - thats what everyone else does right?

                          Of course a head gasket is not a "normal" maintenance item, but neither is pulling a whole engine to replace nearly all of the seals. Is it "Preventative" ? Of course, because you never know who put the last one in, and if they used a quality part of not. If you want something to last, you have to build it right the first time!

                          As for the OP if he still has any doubts, replacing the parts you listed in your first post is definatly do-able without pulling the engine (head-gasket included if you so choose), but it would be considerably easier to do with the engine out (assuming getting the engine out is something you can tackle). Not to mention you could at least get the block nice and clean, and replace additional seals, bearings etc. with a little more work. Its all up to how much work your willing to put into it, however pulling an engine just to replace a timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket would be ridiculous! If your planning on pulling the engine, plan on doing a full rebuild to at least make it worth your time and effort
