Now is the time to check all those things you mentioned, much easier working on it with the engine out. You might also check the heater box flaps, thermostatic fan flaps, flywheel end play. Look for bad exhaust gaskets, too. I hope you've gotten the flywheel off, take it down to a machine shop and get it resurfaced. New o-ring is definitely in order on it. If you've got a facility around, get it and the clutch balanced, too. Replace the throw-out bearing, they're fairly cheap. You don't actually need to replace the fuel line with the fabric covered stuff, but you do need something that's rated for FI pressures(assuming you still have FI). It's an odd size, 7.5mm, doesn't exactly correspond wit ü= ch measurement, so I usually end up with OEM-style hose. There was a big discussion about this several months back, you might want to go back in the archives.
