Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Quick question for those still following: With the engine removed, what else would you do maintenance-wise that would be easier before putting it back in? I see some bushings in the front end that need to be done, so that's a no brainer, and the front tranny seal is leaking. Anything else? I know I need to pull the instrument cluster (and/or dash) to fix my fuel/water temp gauges, would that be any easier with the motor out?

I'd definitely install a set of reinforced motor mounts at this time. Mity Mount, Mag Mount, if you are creative you can make your own. You're going to be making more torque on the OEM mounts are pathetic in my opinion.
