Hello

First post here!!! I've searched here plenty of times before and found answers for my 2001 ranger ext cab with 2.3 and manual trans so thanks

Well my head gasket is leaking, pretty bad now. Going to replace it but i wondering what else I should replace in the process.

I got new head bolts, valve cover gasket, intake man gasket, water pump gasket, and serpentine belt. Is there anything else I need? or anything I should replace while im there?

as far as special tools do I need anything? I have the chiltons and it calls for a couple tools for finding TDC which I have. Anything else?
