I'm prepping for my 2nd head gasket repair on my 1992 Volvo 240. I'm going to purchase a Volvo head gasket kit, but wondering what other parts I should order and/or replace while I'm doing the job?

I plan to take the head to a shop to have it inspected, cleaned, checked for level/ground flat, and have new oil seals and valve hushers installed.

For some added fun I'm installing a "T" cam into my normally aspirated engine to gain some low rpm pull.

The water pump is a month old.
I'm planning to go ahead and install a new timing belt and tensioner.
I'm thinking about purchasing new head bolts.
Radiator is in good shape as well as accessory belts.

Thanks,

13
