'04 2.4L - Replacing head. Which other parts should I replace at same time?
 
I have a 2004 Accord 4-cylinder that my daughter was kind enough to overheat and blow the head gasket on. I already bought a new complete head but am not sure which other parts I should replace while that deep into the motor already. The water pump I consider a given. The timing components are a concern. Should I replace just the tensioner? The guides too? New chain? I only want to tear this motor down once so am trying to accomplish some preventative maintenance while I'm in it.


Thank you in advance for any advice.

I would def do the chain guides and tensioner. If there is any chance the car runs low on oil at points, then do the chain as well.
