Mobile one is recommending addressing 1 thing at a time. Once your are sure the gasket leak is fixed, it can be fixed again for the few dollars a gasket and tube of sealant cost. changing gaskets, rebuilding the carb, changing timing belt all at once can lead to more issues and then you aren't sure what job caused the new issue. Doing things 1 job at a time is how you keep from getting swamped in the project and lost in why it's not running properly after the car is back together.
