Definitely pull the rod and main caps off and check the bearings.

Did you do a compression test before you pulled it out of the car? That would give you a good indication of the ring seals. You could do a leak down test with it on the stand and get an idea too. That's want I plan on doing.

New:

timing belt (OEM)
Timing belt tensioner (OEM)
timing belt pulleys
water pump
balance shaft belt or a balance shaft removal (I removed mine, one less thing to worry about)
whatever gaskets you wanna replace

If you want cheap OEM parts check out JNZ Tuning, thats where I got all my timing belt stuff from, they sell Mitsu parts cheap as hell
