I cant say if cutting the bumpstop brackets off will require engineering. Its not something someone could see has been done if done properly. If you cut them off neatly and fit the wagon stops in there no one will no. I dont recommend doing this if your taking heavy loads. But i havnent had any dramas for the past year and half.

Valve stem seals, Piston rings, rear main seal and/or housing, timing cover, sump, rocker covers, head gasket.

Check the condition of the spark plugs for a start.

Cheers mate, when i get the motor out I'll check over everything, an replace what's gotta be replaced, plugs are about 10000kms old, dunno if that's bad but, noticed I'm getting less fuel to the tank now
