   Make sure the headgasket kit comes with the headgasket, You may need a thicker one etc if getting head skimmed, unless you want to up compression.
   
   Need some head bolts too.
   
   How long ago was the clutch done?
   
   Camshaft, crank oil seals
   
   Valve stem seals
   
   There is a fair amount of money there! Good luck with the re-build M8ey.
