I didn't know where to put this but here it goes. I believe my valve stem seals are bad so after a compression test hopefully this weekend, I will be able to confirm it. I want to then call up JnZ Tuning and schedule a head rebuild. Now I want to know if there is anything else I should get done while it's in there.

I plan to get new valve seals, updated lifters, motor mounts (because mine are shot), a timing belt job (because mine will be due in a year or so), and I want to try to get the piston rings replaced. If you guys have any more suggestions on what I should get done while it's in there please reply, I don't want anymore problems.

Thanks in advance.
 
Depending how far you eventually want to take the car,

I would do cams, Ti retainers, double springs, 1mm + SS valves, porting and polishing. But this stuff can add up quickly.
