What to replace when installing new engine in 1993 190E 2.6?

I'm having a new long block (from Metric Motors) installed in my 1993
190E 2.6. The rest of the parts will come from my existing engine which
has 120,000 miles on it.

In addition to motor mounts, belts, and hoses, is there anything else I
should replace at this time? The repair shop suggested a new water pump
as a precautionary measure.

You really like that car to buy a rebuilt engine at metric's price? Wow...
I'd change all the temp sensors, gaskets for whatever you are transferring
over, water pump definitely,

I am about to have my engine remanufactured at Metric. I'll save a
few hundred on shipping because I can take it there myself and pick it
up. I priced parts, and with a rebuilt injection pump and turbo I am
well over $4000 just for parts. The Metric price will be around
$6000, with tax. Tax probably eats up the shipping savings. But I am
paying around $1500 for them to do the work and then I get a warranty
so if a screw up eats the engine I will be covered for the parts.

I talked to another local rebuilder, but he wanted to know if I had an
engine manual he could borrow. I was removing the belt pulley on the
front of the crankshaft and wondered about balance. I called Metric
and the guy knew off the top of his head how many bolts there were in
the pulley and how they were balanced. I like them because they are
that familiar with this particular type of engine.

Do you know of another remanufacturer who has the same skills but
charges significantly less?

Thanks again for the pointer the other day on the spring compressor.
