all the gaskets and seals, spark plugs, possibly turbo(if yours is fucked or u want to replace it) probaly some other things but can't think of them right now.

Apexi: As many of the coolant hoses as you can replace while the head's off.

Cheap insurance for the future they cost a bit from Toyota but are a LOT cheaper than another rebuild as our motors are intolerant of cooling failures.
