3) Valve seals
4) Timing chain, and guides.
5) Bolts and washers.

I wanted to get more things, like fan clutch and air pump pulleys, but my money is getting low these days and I figured I'll just wait until I get the thing apart before making my second parts list.

Of course, when I do this job I will document it and take pictures to share here......

Be prepared because there is always something extra to fix when you actually have the head off

Are you going to clean the tops of the pistons? I suggest also getting a couple big cans of degreaser and replacing all the hoses that are difficult to replace such as the waterpump->head...that small 3/4inch one.
