Silicone grease is your friend. Carefully remove all old seals,after spraying them with silicone spray, when refitting coat seals with silicone grease.

Some 3.0L were "modified" or chipped as the you'ff say, I had a chip from an ex-diplomatic protection car, slightly better fueling, some NIPS cars had larger throttle bodies and a modified map. I think the chip I had is still around Hoof'land. But l haven't asked if the person still has it.

If I was paranoid about them, I'd use a torque wrench for the 90Nm before adding a bit more
Personally I'd just put them back in and do them up tight.

I know .... I used to have an Omega & have changed onebut there was a choice of 3(?), and Vx couldn't tell you which one until you'd put the old coil pack on their parts counter.
It's only the plug which you need to see,
Ovel, square and rectangle.

So it needs, full service+cambelt, possibly wishbones, coolent change, breathers doing. And chassis legs will be crusty.Reckon £600 on parts. It's getting expensive already. Might even need tyres.
