Are you going NA-T? If so you can send the head off to get ported/polished while its off. Also, nows a good time to do Cams.

From the link you posted:
I strongly suggest that if you are doing your head gasket you do your front crank seal, cam seals, stem seals and intake/distributor gaskets. You may as well, you'll be looking right at them at that time. A great value at $245 shipped.

-Timing Belt
-Water Pump
-Plugs
-Wires
-Cap

I see abit oil grease around it, and i eventually hoping to throw a turbo on, so i want to make sure all the seals are strong. where's the seals located? a picture would be much appreciated.

was gonna do it myself or have my mechanic helping me out.
