Oil pan gasket is not a terrible diy. Just need an engine brace up top to support it.

LOL Dane! I found some DIYs, if I do it, I'll let you know. I am going to do the OFHG alone first to see if that fixes it. If not, then the OPG - yeah you know me.
BTW, thanks y'all.

Tested it on my new CCV today and it's roughly 2" Hg. Still very slight and much less than I would have guessed.

Awesome! Thanks so much for following up. 2 inches of vacuum actually sounds like a good spec. Not too high to cause vacuum leaks at gaskets and seals but enough to make the low tension piston rings seal.
Now I know for sure my CCV is not operating correctly and is probably responsible the intermittent roughness on cold start. How is your cold start idle quality now that you have a new CCV?
This imo should be a sticky and be used as a simple method for checking CCV health. You simply connect a vacuum gauge to the dipstick tube, take a reading which should probably be between 1 and 2 inches vacuum.

Just to keep things up to date, changed out my expansion tank and air filter. And, happy upcoming birthday to Ness. 03/10/06.

Finally replaced my OFHG (I've had it for more than a month), and changed my oil. Thanks to William for the help. Also worked on William's cars yesterday too.
