Also if you are doing the rings you might as well do the main bearings (even though replacement is not necessary.) If you are doing the rollers and belts you might as well change the water pump. If you have no interest in using the A/C it is a good time to remove it and reseal your power steering rack. I would also inspect the Control Arms for wear as well as the whole front suspension. Since you are pulling the transmission you could also check out the CV Joints and reseal/repack.

Just curious, why do you recommend replacing the main bearings? I've never heard of them failing.
