Light weight flywheel?
New genuine gaskets?
Is it worth doing the thermostat?
Heat wrap the headers and up pipe?
If doing Cambelt, what about modified oil pump?

Not sure what sort of cash you want to throw at it!, list is endless really!

Good luck you got a busy long weekend!

A damn good clean (providing it is dirty) have a good clean round the engine bay Tidy wiring up etc.

Not really much to do with upgrading or maintaining but will make it look nice and will be easier to spot potential leaks etc

Jut done more or less the same myself... no bits left over when it went back together either!


+1. Prone to dry out and a 10 minute job with the engine out - PITA with the engine in!

May as well do the plugs too - also water pump and thermostat are worth changing while it's all apart.
