I am doing the infamous LIM Gasket replacement this weekend and I wanted to make sure I got all the parts I need. I am changing the thermostat,spark plugs and wires as well at this time.

I have:

items:
upper and lower intake gaskets (inlcuded in GM kit)
intake manifold bolts (included in GM kit)
hi temp gasket sealer
thermostat and gasket
spark plugs and wires (w/ anti seize)
coolant
oil and filter

Tools:
Gasket scrapers
torque wrench
typical sockets/screwdrivers etc.

Is there any other tools or items I may need or want to change while I am doing this procedure? This is my everyday car and I would rather take care of as much as I can at one shot while the motor is torn apart. The engine has 75,000 miles on it.

depending on which side on the intake is leaking if both i would change the water pump. i let my go too long and need a water pump for it now
