I am going to be replacing the rings on my d16y7 this weekend and just wanted to make sure that I had everything I needed. I got a new HG, intake manifold gasket, oil pan gasket and the rings themselves. Anything else that I am missing?

 

patience. That is #1.
If your engine has a girdle you will need to take off the girdle to get at the rod bolts, so you'll need someone to hold up the crank for that.
You will also need a ring compressor and a torque wrench, but I assume that you have those.
You may want to put in new bearings while you are doing there and the crank will be off. Depends how many miles are on the engine.

I think the bearings should be fine as the engine only has 31k miles on it.

 

anyone else?
