      Also buy a camshaft seal and cam seal o-ring. BUT you must be very careful when removing the cam sprocket. (search:my username, "cracked cam")

      You should adjust the valves and if the head hasn't been serviced you will need a valve cover gasket and new rocker shaft rubber plugs.

      The waterpump has a gasket too, FYI.

      I got a new timing belt tensioner pin and spring as well.

      Grab a tube of RTV, you might need it for stuff.


      This is all stupid stuff though, it seems you've got the major items down already.

            Are there any head gasket/top end gasket kits besides Victor Reinz?

            I want to get all the gaskets for the top end in one place/kit if I can.

              Alright guys I updated my first post with things I have found I should replace.

              I am most likely ordering tomorrow, so if you could add (or have me remove) anything before 2 am then that'd be great ;)

              Thanks

                              Your c104 plug has 3 wires
                              Pin #1 Black Wire-Engine speed
                              Pin #2 green wire-OBC Fuel cut function
                              Pin #3 Yellow/White wire-Fuel rate
                              On the 89 harness you'll need to splice or connect the following wires to the ones on the c104.
                              Pin # 3 from c104 to Pin 8 on the c101 of your 89(Yellow/White or White/Black wire)
                              Pin #2 from the c104, run a wire from directly to the + terminal on the coil(Green wire)
                              Pin #1 from the c104 to pin 9 on the c101(black wire)

                                Thanks!

                                Is the c104 the harness or my car?

                                Link doesn't work btw.
