Head Gasket Replacement, What Else Do I Need to Replace? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm getting a 1991 240SX tommorow that needs a head gasket replaement. What else should I replace since the top end is off and the engine more accessible. I'm thinking water pump and upper and lower timing chain (don't know now since its chain and doesn't really wear and because it sounds difficult). What else should I replace since the engine has 169k and I don't know how the owner took care of her.

Also, do I have to get the engine to TDC when taking off the head?
