I think there are o-rings for the spark plug holes that might be good to change.

Not on our engines, on engines where the spark plug goes through the valve cover there are spark plug seals.

i feel obligated to do this myself since my mechanic told me his 10 year old son changed his in the driveway last summer.

That made me laugh. At least it wasn't a 10 yr old daughter.
