What should I change during head replacement?

[raverboy]

Wutz up everyone, here is my situation:

I am currently in the process of having my entire head replaced with a slow boy racing stage 3 head, crower titanium retainers and springs, 880cc precision turbo injectors, Crower stage 2 turbo cams, unorthodox racing cam gears, and a cometic head gasket.

My question is: While my head is getting rebuilt, should I go ahead and get anything else changed ( oil pump, etc.) .

Definately change the timing belt while everythings apart. But you already knew that, right?

Don't forget the waterpump while you're in there, might as well.

Well the t-belt is a no brainer( I am sure you know) and timing parts. I would change the water pump, if balance shafts are in I would eliminate them as well while it is that far apart, and if you are doing the eliminator, you might as well replace the oil pump. I am sure I forgot a few things, but for the most part, change ANYTHING that was covered by other parts and would be hard to get to later down the road.
