"while I'm there".., Engine out..what to change? Options

[TRS63]

Hello all,

slowly I am coming to the point of thinking about putting the engine back..but now is also the point for some preventive maintenance on it!

The start:
-engine is the original 1,8l with L-Jet
-it worked all good until I stopped it and removed the engine for rust repair last August
-fuel pump is approx 2 years old

What is planned:
-oil change of course
-oil+air filter of course
-all fuel lines, engine side but also the ones in the tunnel (stainless steel ones) and under the tank

I don't want to invest so much as it was a good running unit and I don't want to overdo. But I want a reliable car and more than that as much safety as possible (especially fire-risks).
I am also unsure what the future will be : carbs or modern FI with ITBs ? I am missing the clean look and admission sound with the current setup. So no unnecessary invest in the L-Jet. What is sure: I will stay in the future with a 4 cylinders (but probably a bigger one) for weight reasons.

-->do I need to change injectors sealings ? If yes, which ones?
-->something else ?

Thanks for the inputs

as per @Shivers .

do those end seals with the engine out.
you might consider diving in and doing the oil cooler seals, but you have to get a bit off to get in there and do that.
you will kick youself if you don't do the end seals and have to pull the engine again.

most of the rest of it is fine whatever happens along the way with the engine in the car.
perhaps slightly less convenient but if you don't want to do unnecessary work that would be the way to go.

you might be lucky with injectors, but the hoses might have dried out.
again you can do that once you get it back in car and fired up and check it out.
no big deal. perhaps slightly less convenient.

exciting for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

ps i did not pull the engine on mine when i recommissioned.
just the gearbox and did the clutch flywheel and rear seal.
the front seal started to leak after i got it back on the road again.
and i thought, ah ....f k.
but then after a couple of good long runs by miracle it stopped.

those seals are well worth doing.
