I have to track down a fuel leak that appears to be originating somewhere in the valley of the beast. To do this I will be removing both upper and lower intakes, and wanted some suggestions about what maintenance, upgrades or mods I can do while I have the top of the engine exposed. Here are a couple that I was thinking of:
Is it a good idea to replace the OPS even when mine is working just fine? AFAIK, the OPS has been on this truck for at least 5 years (prev owner did not replace it).
Also, what solvents would work best to clean the engine valley? It is really gummed up with old diesel, and I want to take a wire brush to it (I will be sure to keep the junk out of the openings into the head).
Thanks.

- Replace fuel lines
- Replace OPS
- Clean engine valley (it is really gummy with 140K of dust and diesel)
