have the injections cleaned and flow tested.

fuel filters

upgrade the fp if you havent already

seals, gaskets, water pump, timing belt, and maybe oil pump are all basic things when doing a rebuild. may need to get the block bored as well for those pistons.

sounds like a very achiveable goal. GL to you and thanks for your service.
