Unhappy engine torn apart...

so my engine has the heads taken off and are being cleaned up, turns out i had a blown passenger side headgasket along with a warped head and bad valves... my question is what should i replace while it is apart. money is an issue so i cant put performance parts on it but i would like to fix whatever usually goes bad so that this will be the last time i have to tear it down this far. any comments or suggestions are appreciated. thanks

These engines are usually pretty good and reliable. Just don't overheat the car and you should be good.
