Need help: M20 and G260 parts

[jaywood]

I am going to be turboing my car and will be doing some maintenance before hand to make it more reliable. What I'll be doing: stage 2 clutch, headgasket + headbolts, timing belt change, cooling system overhaul.

Here are my parts that I will be ordering. I need opinions on what else I will need.

Clutch
Stage 2 clutch. F1 racing.
Rear main seal
Rear crank cover gasket
Clutch pivot ball
Input shaft oil seal
Output shaft seal
Selector shaft seal
Flywheel bolts
Throw out bearing
Pilot bearing. Felt ring + cover
Shifter bushings

Headgasket/timing
Intake mani gaskets
New radiator hoses
Thermostat housing gasket/seal
Thermostat coolant bleeder screw
Thermostat o-ring seal
80* thermostat
Accessory belts
Water pump and gasket
Exhaust mani gaskets
Exhaust nuts
Goetze headgasket
Metric blues
Valve cover gasket
Timing belt + tensioner
Front camshaft o-ring and oil seal

Misc
Engine mounts
Trans mounts
Flywheel resurface
Head resurface


It would be great if anyone could review my parts list and tell me what else I'll be needing! This is my first time changing a clutch/pulling a head.

Front camshaft seal should be under headgasket/timing

You'll need the M6 and M8 copper plated nuts for the exhaust manifold and down tubes as well as the down tube flange gaskets and you may need new exhaust studs. You will also need four of the rubber bungs to go with the valve cover gasket and o-rings for the oil return tube.

At the least, have a minimal surfacing cut done on the head. A used head almost always has some warp. If the head has over 100k on it it would benefit from having the valves ground and new seals installed. The cam needs to be checked for wear and may need to be blueprinted or replaced.

Whoops, edited the camshaft seal

Added in exhaust nuts and resurface flywheel/head. Do you happen to know the part numbers for the rubber bungs/o-rings for the return tube? I can't seem to find those.

If you're buying an F1 racing clutch kit, most of them come with pilot bearings, throw out bearings and a clutch alignment tool.
I've also heard some people have a bad go with the stage 2 F1 clutches, either dying or slipping at less than their advertised torque value.

Also, any t.stat kit should come with the o-ring.

I'd also recommend ARP studs over metric blues unless you're on a very tight budget, and you might eventually find it beneficial to o-ring your block if you're keeping a stock style headgasket.

I'm buying an OEM pilot and t/o bearing. I know the kit comes with them but I'll be using the OEM stuff.

I'll look into the thermostat o-ring

Metric blues only because I'm on a budget. I've been debating on oringing the block. I think I am going to.
