Looking for suggestions for what all else I should replace/update while I will have the engine and transmission out.
Here is what I have so far:
New engine (fairly obvious)
New intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, new turbo to manifold and turbo to downpipe gaskets, new throttle body to intake manifold gasket
New exhaust manifold, turbo to manifold and turbo to downpipe studs and nuts (ARP)
Header wrap for exhaust manifold since all the Cerakote flaked off (downpipe already wrapped)
New injector seals and install tool
New plugs and coils
Slapping on an Airtec oil cooler
Copious amounts of oil and filters
2 gallons of coolant
New axle seals
Ravenol transmission fluid
New tensioner and pulley
New idler pulley for my AC delete
New serpentine belt (shorter belt for my AC delete
Various hardware
New upper bearings for my BC coilovers (they are a bit clunky)
Built transmission with new slave cylinder went in ~500 miles before the engine went, and clutch/pressure plate/flywheel have ~1000 miles on them (looked basically new when I was swapping the transmission), so I'll reuse all of that.
Am I missing anything or does anyone have something I should add?
