What should I replace while I am swapping an engine?
Hi! It is my first post. I hope this goes well.
I blew up my old Honda engine in my '00 ex (I know I'm stupid). I am buying the same engine (d16y8) with around the same mileage (150k). I am going to be swapping them out. I need to know what I should be replacing or cleaning when I am in there?
Timing belt?
Gaskets?
Clutch?
Fuel pump?
Also, what should I do to clean it out? Will it hurt it to use harsh cleaners?
Is it worth it to go get it bored? and should I be getting new rods?
I will probably get the head polished as well.
Thanks a lot for answers.
Also let me know if there are any guides on how to do this. I am having my uncle who used to be a mechanic help me but I would like to research it beforehand. Thanks!

Are you rebuilding the engine or just swapping?
Change the timing belt, water pump, tensioner accessory belts and clean the FITV and IACV.
