shopping list

The buick just hit 110k and i figured it would be about time to change the timing chain and some other things while Im at it. what i got so far is
comp valve springs 980-12
comp timing chain 3129
factory replacement front cover
water pump

i figure i keep the cam stock and ill just spend the extra money on an alky kit. Is there anything else i should change while Im in there? I have a budget of about 1 grand. Any input would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

If your pulling the heads, freshen up the valves, (as they get miles on them they won't seal as well as fresh ones do). If your handy with the grinder you can get some free horsepower by spending time on them also. I'm not sure why you are replacing the front cover, usually just a fresh seal will do.
By the way, alky is the best bang for the buck! Good luck with your project !
