cam swap check list

ok, i'm doing it. tomorrow i begin my cam swap deal. i am hoping to be done by sat, or sunday if i go out friday night. please let me know if i am missing something
1) hot cam
2) 1.6 rocker arms
3) comp cams replacement pushrods
4) timing chain
5) LT4 valve springs, shims, locks, retainers, seals, keys, caps, hell i don't even know what that stuff does, i'll find out when its in pieces i guess
6) oil pan, water pump, front cover, intake manifold, and valve cover gaskets
7) coolant not sure what type, i have a ton of prestone, but i can't remember if i should buy it from the factory or not, like the way toyota uses the red stuff
Thats all the stuff i have, if anyone has suggestions or things i missed please let me know. my car has 130k miles on it, i was considering changing the opti, as it is the original one that came on the car, but i think its ok.

anything i missed, or suggestions or words of wisdom let me know
thanks
