Default Rebuilding B16a2 head...anything missing?

Im going to be rebuilding my B16 head due to leaky valve seals, noisier valvetrain, loss in a smooth rev, and a decrease in performance over time. Im going to be boosting the car in the future. Im going to retain the stock cams for now and put ITR/CTR cams in and then use those till and when i do go boost. Im going to get the head cleaned, Decked, and maybe a 3 angle valve job. Idk if its really worth much or not.

B16 Head

Oem head gasket
Oem Valve seals
Oem Valve keepers
Oem Valve Guides (If Necessary)
Oem Lma's
Oem Seats (If necessary)
Oem or Supertech valves (If Necessary)
Stock cams
Stock cam gears (until upgrade to ITR cams)
Oem or aftermarket timing belt

Is there anything im missing or should think about doing?

sounds good from the list you should have everything. maybe investing in a haynes manual may help put it back together correctly

springs are overkill when your running a stock cam.

im doing springs to freshen up everything in the head, plus i herd its common when valve springs get old and worn they get noisy, also ill be boosting and upgrading to ITR/CTR cams which dual springs are recomended. i already got a skunk 2 cam end plug, distributor is oem brand new, but new cam seals, and vtec gasket too ill add to the list.

i think super tech makes dual valves too?... but if you can get brand new itr duals for cheaper then go with itr ones (in my opinion)
