Hey there folks. I know this has been talked about many times before, but can't seem to find it through the search. Anyway, I was wondering what smaller stuff should be replaced or looked at when doing the 120k. My car is a '91. I've already got the upper end gasket set, plugs, wires, timing belt, and a waterpump. I'm leaking some coolant from the pump and the radiator. I know the alt. belt and the power steering belt are pretty good. There is around 30k on them. Anything else I should get? Sensors or any other components? The car runs ok right now. But there is oil in the plug wells, and sometimes when it rains alot it will run rough for a couple minutes then settle down. If I've forgotten anything let me know. Thanks guys and gals.

Might as well replace the front main (crankshaft) seal while you are in there. It's less than $10 and you dont wouldn't want to have to go back in later just for that. Crank position sensor is a little more work and couple more bucks but is also recommended by most people. beer

I would replace the Crank Position Sensor while you've got everything apart. I'm not sure how long you've had your car but replacing the thermostat would probably be a good idea. It will save you from running to rich and destroying your cats. Also, pick up some cans of intake/throttle body cleaner to clean out the intake manifold. You didn't mention the valve shims but it is something that should be done at 120K. I would replace the upper and lower radiator hoses as well.
