getting my DIY's crossed

I'm going to be conducting a timing belt change and along with it a coolant flush. I seem to remember at some point reading about some engine mounts people on this forum suggest, I assume this would be a good time to swap those? I'm also planning on throwing in a Crower Stage 1 cam that will go along with this process. Is there anything else I'm forgetting that should be done along with this. I feel like I've read about 100 DIY's on here this year and can't remember which I was all going to do at the same time, thanks.

after you swap the stage 1 in, do the https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...djustment.html to crower's specs: .006" intake and .008" exhaust (adjusted cold)

depending on the mileage of the car, other things to consider.....

- water pump
- timing belt tensioner and spring
- cam seal
- crank seal
- thermostat
- valve cover gasket

Those items will definitely be done with the timing belt, thanks

Definitely going to happen, I'm going to follow the DIY's I have saved, i.e. stage 1 install, timing belt, coolant flush. I'll probably get the valve cover painted/powder coated. I guess my question should say "while I have everything off are there other things I should be taking care of?
