Hey Apolan here are some list specs.

If you wanne do it right to go all the way.

New pistons ... (81.5mm bore with 18mm pin)
Oversize the lower block to 81.5mm
You will need new bearings for the conrods

Do a mot on the oilpan for an oil temp sensor
bolts can be standard (4age can be reused without a problem) If you want new buy the ARP bolts.

Only buy gaskets at toyota as they are very good. (very important is the headgasket. The junk from ebay is not thin steel but some paper kind of thingy)

spark plugs what I heard from R.Hellenbrand (here on the forum) is to buy the magnecor ones. They seem very good if you use iridium spark plugs.

Did you have any difrent camshafts? If so maybe buy a thicker timing belt.

Go run on 5w 40 full synthetic. Don't go more than half trotthle with the first 1000 km do an oil change then and then start really driving it.

Then you have an engine which runs good and is good. If you have any damage I would go oversize pistons so that it will look like new.
