Engine rebuild extras

[aussie4wheeler]

Hey guys, as some of you know I blew the motor in my 02 pathy last week when 2 of the power valve screws came loose and were sucked into a cylinder. I have order a full DNJ Engine rebuild kit with new pistons, rings, gaskets, timing kit and freeze plugs. I also went ahead and ordered a new water pump, new drive belts, new oil pan (mine is rusted and thin) 2 lots of oil, 2 filters, new iridium NGK plugs and thermostat. I figured while the motor is out I might as well replace hard to get to parts that are relatively cheap.

My question is: does anyone think there is anything I haven't mentioned that I should replace or overhaul while the motor is out?

Cheers, Josh

What about the main and rod bearings in the bottom end? I assume the kit came wit those?

Yes main and rod bearings, and thrust washers are also included

How about the knock sensor? It's a pain to get to it if/when it goes bad.

Might be worth a preventative replacement?
