[Roadsters] Might as well... Smart upgrades while the engine and trans are out?

[Pat Horne]

I'd pull the pan and check the bearings. Wouldn't hurt to check the oil 
pump too. If your rear seal is leaking, replace it. Front seals are 
cheap insurance.

Freshen up the engine compartment if you have time.

Peace,
Pat
