order a hks metal headgasket new head studs new timing belt water pump oil pump entire engine gasket kit. take your oil pan off adn check the bearings. replace if nessicary. get a new clutch and resurface teh flywheel. since thats off replace the rear main seal. then redo your oil pan gasket. if your going for power order cams and valve springs since the heads off. also order a new fuel pump. then buy bolt ons. intake exhaust and downpipe. dont put a intake before any engine work make sure the engine is in prestine condition.

I believe its an 88 PulsarNX and ya it does have the CA18DE.I believe Moving Violation posted something once in the general forum about parts that were interchangable, I think it was practically all maintenance parts otehr than pistons, but don't take my word for it without checking.
