water pump, head gasket, timing belt - replace the cap plugs and wires and you're good to go

Stock clutch dics is a real big liability and costly to replace when the motor/tranny is in the car.

yeah, replace the stock clutch and have your flywheel re-surfaced... are you aware of anything the owner has told u? like any grinding, gears popping out etc?

just do the timing belt/waterpump/headgasket/cap/rotor. oil pump should be fine.


usually first thing to "break" are the synchros tho.
