Well, just for starters you will need 40 M6 x 1.0mm bolts and flat washers for the engine tin. Also M8 x 1.25mm nylock nuts. You will need a lot of them. I bought 100 for $7.50 from Tacoma Screw. I reused the M8 washers. (Valve cover gasket kits come with the fasteners though.)
Save all of your wavy washers, as I have found them hard to find.
A lot of the big bolts clean up real nice if you soak them overnight in carb cleaner. I got a gallon can, looks like a paint can, from the auto supply. Made by Berryman. Napa also sells a similar can, or you can even just buy a bottle of it and pour it into a new can. (But the Berryman can has a nice dipping tray with a handle.)
I also use a workbench disc grinder fitted with a wire brush wheel. Watch your hands, but this works great. Finishes it up shiny new, and you don't mess up the threads at all. BTW I also use antiseize when I reinstall them as a lube.
