When I did my headgasket, I also replaced:
Exhaust manifold studs
Cam chain guide that is in the valve cover
Valve seals
I took the head off and took it to a machine shop. The machine shop dissassembled the head, cleaned it, checked it for cracks and warping (important), installed the new valve seals, re-assembled, and performed a light valve job. I also had them 'deck' the head which is to machine it flat, removing as little material as possible. Finished head looked brand new.
I also took 2 old head bolts to the machine shop. I had them cut off the heads, cut a slot for a screwdriver in the end, and grind a small chamfer on the ends. These became guide pins for re-installing the head. Very handy.
There's probably more, but I did mine a while back now. It was not fun, but satisfying in the end.
Good luck,
Ludwig
