Replacing head, what else to change?

Hi!

I'm replacing the head on my Busa since I've got a leaky POS intake valve
making it jerk and sound like it's going to fall apart.. Had the valves set 3 times the last 6000 miles..
Anyhow, I bought a used head of ebay which I'm getting inspected & ported..
The guy doing the porting is also going to replace the head and we'll remove the gasket under the cylinder to get some more comp.. :cheerleader:

When doing all this we're going to replace the following stuff:

Headgasket, of course
Cam chain
Cleaning and testing of injectors
piston rings

Is there anything else I should replace while I'm at it?
Cam Chain tensioner is only 1yr old
Cam Chain guides?
The lower cam chain sprocket?

The reason I'm asking is 'cause I've got to order everything and it'll probably take 2-3 weeks before the stuff arrives.. :(
The guy which is going to do this is one of the best over here so he probably knows what else to replace but it's always nice to have more input!

TIA!
 
Shopping done so far
camchain
Camchain tensioners (all three)
piston rings
Valve oil seals

What about valvesprings & retainers??
Thinking of putting in another cam during the winter...
Nothing with really crazy lift but a bit better than stock..
