Hey guys
I was considering changing the valve cover on my '98 SR20 since I have a highport intake cam waiting to be installed and need to have the cover removed to check a noise coming from the engine anyway.

My question is: are there any parts I should consider replacing or installing while my engine is uncapped? I know I need to find a head gasket, but would you guys suggest changing out any other internal parts subject to regular wear-and-tear? I'm not interested in upgrading the internals unnecessarily, just replacing parts that may cause trouble in the future. The motor has 67,000 miles, but has been cared for and runs real well despite some minor noises.

Of course, any suggestions/advice on installing the cam or changing the valve cover would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
