I'm hoping to have the engine in at some point soon, just wondering what parts I should replace before the clutch, gearbox, manifold etc go back on. From the top of my head here is what I have but I might be missing some stuff:
Inlet manifold & TB gaskets
Rockercover gasket set
Alloy stat housing with new stat
Two temp sensors for in the head under the manifold
Exhaust gaskets + new nuts
New clutch + clutch bearing
Flywheel bolts
Spigot bearing
Gearlinkage refurb parts
Thats all I can think of, is there anything else worthwhile replacing while I'm at it?
Before I put the engine in, what do I replace?

Cambelt, unless it's been changed fairly recently...
Also worth checking the condition of the engine mounts.

Got all the bit for M50 inlet (I think). Vanos seals I'll have to do another time, maybe when I replace the cams with s52 items
Engine mounts also got 
Is there a crank shaft seal on the gearbox side that can fail?
