Wondering what parts to replace, what to upgrade and what to leave alone when rebuilding?

 

I've bitten the bullet and decided to rebuild. I'm not after rebuilding for loads more power, but want to replace anything that is worthwhile replacing whilst the engine is out. So far the list is:

 

Crankshaft - regrinding + new bearings

Con Rods - was damaged

Turbos - might as well get some new ones.

Det sensor

Cam Belt

Water pump

Obviously all the gaskets.

 

What else is worth changing... ideas are:

 

Oil Pump?

Pistons?

 

Anything else? And any suggestions on where's cheapest (for the best stuff) would be appreciated? Not after loads more perfroamnce, just relaible parts that mean I wont have to have the engine out again any time soon?

 

Cheers guys,

David
