Advice Needed: Pulling Engine and Trans
Need some advice. I am pulling the engine and transmission to change the torque converter in the car. Any advice on what other work I should do while the engine is out?

Depends on money and mileage, but here's the short list that is really easy with the engine out (you can still do this later on with the engine installed). All of these are just nice to do if the engine is out.
1. Cam seals (if your over 100,000)
2. Cam adjuster seals
3. Valve cover gaskets
4. CPS sensor
5. After coolant pump (not that you really need it)
6. Motor mounts
7. Timing belt
8. Cam sensors (based on mileage).
9. EFK

One more thing that I would do is the rear main crank seal. It's as hard to get to as the torque converter.
I would not change the whole plate with the seal, since that is very expensive.
The old seal can be pressed out and a new seal is about $20. The gasket for it is about $10 I think.
