Engine Prep

[PoorCollegeKidd]

Alright, i'm going to pick up my RB20 front clip in a few days (hopefully) and am gettin started wayyy late on collecting parts. While the new engine is out, I was going to clean it, replace the clutch if needed, timing belt, fluids, Head gasket, water pump and filters, all if I have the extra cash. I was wondering if I am forgetting anything that should be done, maintenance-wise (and no, replacing wtih RB26DETT is NOT maintenance ). Thanx.

Thermostat and gasket while youre at it. You could always get your engine bay painted while its out for the EXTRA clean lookin swap.-Alex

most def, changeing the thermostat is a PITA when its in the car. obviously you should change your plugs as well.
