12K and beyond

i'm at about 121xx miles, which is about time for its 12k service. I plan on performing a valve job, replace spark plugs, replace belts. Here is a shopping list:

Tools

Micrometer
Feeler Gauges
Needle Nose Pliers
Anti-seize compound
1/4, 1.8 inch ball bearing (for chain rivet)
telescoping magnet
ratchet allen set

Parts

Gaskets
Shims
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs (NGK DCPR8E, Autolite 4164, Denso Iridium) set to .9mm
new belts
brake/clutch fluid (Castrol DOT4)

Future repair sessions might include a chain replacement and upgrading to 14 tooth sprocket.
