100CS V6 head work questions



Hey all,
Happy new year....bad news is, as of midnight, your car is a year older!

I am looking at a 100CS that a fellow Qlister has found for me up in NY, and
here's the bad news; it has bent valves.  The tensioner broke and thus a
couple of valves made friends with the cylinders.  It has 100K on it, so if I
get this fixed, i guess i should also do:
-lifters
-head gasgets
-valve cover gasgets
-timing belts (duh!)

What else should i have done since the car will need it's heads pulled for the
new valves?  I am interested in this car since it might be seriously
discounted due to the status of the valves.  If the price stays real low, I am
all over it.
