Considering how much you're going to dismantel, you might want to consider a "few" other items that are easier to do at this time, rather than when it's all reassembled.

1] EGR tube to intake manifold - remove and thoroughly clean out
2] Water pump - or at least flush the cooling system
3] Hoses [esp one a back of head and 2 under the intake runners] and vacuum lines / hoses
4] Chain guide and tensioner

Wish I had known about the above [and ones I didn't mention] when I had mine done.

PS Hopefully someone will give you or reference you to a "complete list" to consider.
