My engine comes back from the machine shop on Wednesday (I've got an appointment to pick it up), so I was making a list of things I'll be needing to put the motor back together. Help me make sure I've got everything I need!

parts:-Alternator + Starter (both were sold with my other S13)-Water Pump-Thermostat-New Battery -Tuneup stuff: plugs/wires/cap/rotor/filters/etc-Timing chain guides-Belts-Radiator Hoses

misc:-Silicone Gasket/Sealant-Electrical Connection Cleaner-Various oils + fluids

Anything else you guys can think of? This is a freshly built motor just coming back the machine shop. I have pretty much all the parts that came off of the engine (except the starter and alt...), and I bought a full felpro gasket set at the machine shop so I'm set for that. I know I'm missing a few things here though, help me out!

make sure the gasket set you have comes with an oil pan gasket. my rtv never sealed right and at the time i dint know there was aoil pan gasket.

also i would suggest going with some aftermarket plug wires and some ngk copper plugs. DONT get platinum which is what the store will tell youa t first. ngk bkr6-es (11) i get mine from napa for under $10 ususally same day and they do last for a while

seems like your list is pretty good
