You don't need a block guard if you're resleeving with Benson's... axe that from your list.
You also don't need to get a fancy Golden Eagle head gasket. Just get an OEM B20 head gasket. It's 84mm already.
If you're going to do all that, then yes balance it also. Do you need squirters? No.
Are you really going to carry through with all this?

Im goin through with it yes. The sleeves are in and the block guard is already pinned in. They were replacement sleeves! Not the full bore thing. The golden eagle headgasket only cost me $62 (cheaper than oem) and the dowel pins are opened up added ease. I will have it balanced for sure. Anything else I may be overlooking? Thanks for the prompt reply as well!
