Default rebuild?

Thank you for the suggestions.
I am judging by oil consumption that she needs a rebuild. It leaks some oil from the gaskets too. Also assuming that since mileage is climbing to 200k I am assuming things like timing belt should be replaced soon.

Does the helms manual have like a list of things you should replace on a rebuild?
I have seen a few rebuild kits (gaskets) on ebay. But will probably need water pump, and timing belt. I am not sure about other things such as valves, head, block.
I mean, since I would have it all torn down shouldn't I just run the gambit?

Where is a good source for the Helms manual?

Anybody been this route? How much might I expect to spend?
Then there is the question: Do I change cam, add header, mods, that kind of thing?


Thanks for the help.
