Duratec valve cover gasket, what else to replace?

[Dirtman]

I need to do the valve cover gasket on my trusty 2.3. Its only a tiny leak but of course its leaking right at the back corner and dripping on the exhaust so the smell is annoying. Considering how much crap needs to be removed to do this Im wondering what other maintenance would be prudent while I have everything apart. Obviously the intake gaskets will get done, going to do my pcv valve while intake is off, anything else worth ordering before I start?

The truck is an 09 with only 65k but gets alot of idle time. All the basic maintenance (oil, filters, etc) have always been done religiously.

CHT sensor connector can get brittle and break, but can be replaced after the fact, just need an extra long socket

This 2.3l Duratec engine was designed for transverse mounting in FWD cars, so these hoses and fitting are accessible, not so in Ranger
