Ok, I've got my engined stripped to the block (in the truck). I want to replace all of the necessary hard to reach stuff while I have the intake off. Here's what I plan so far:

Cylinder head check / resurface / rebuild as needed
Oil pump
Water pump
Timing chain kit - tensioner, gears, guides
Timing cover
Fuel filter
Oil / filter
Plugs
Plug wires
Coolant hoses

Anything else I should swap out while I have it all apart? Like the starter - it's buried down there but easy to get to with the intake manifold removed.

Thanks for your support of newbies!

Cap
Rotor
Fuel Injectors sent to witchhunter to be cleaned and flow tested
OEM top end gasket kit.
All the coolant hoses under the intake.

Right, forgot that part.
Cap / Rotor
Master gasket kit from engnbldr
I sent my injectors including cold start to Rich at cruzinperformance.com

I'll pick the hoses for under the intake, thanks!

Just check the head for cracks

check for straightness

If you go doing a valve job unless you just did the bottom end less than 5000 miles ago you will be pulling the engine to do it in a few days to weeks.

The old bearings in the bottom end just don`t like the fresh valve job.

I was young and stupid and didn`t listen when this was told to me I learned this lesson and it stuck because it cost a little more money out of my pocket.:jessica::jessica:
