Thermostat
Radiator hoses
Misc. hoses on intake manifold
Valve cover gasket and spark plug grommets
Oil pan gasket.
Front and rear main seals. Should be done anyway since you are rebuilding the bottom end Since you are having the bottom end apart replace the rod bearings and main bearings.

Sounds to me like you are on the right track. However I would consider replacing bearings (rod, main, thrust). you need to get the code on the crank, block, and rods, then go to acura to get the right clearance bearings. but, if your original bearings are good you dont have to do any of this. use plasticgage to check clearance on your orig. ones.
