Ka24de rebuild help. (Lookover my plan & give your opinion / tips)

About to rebuild my ka24de for the first time (first time rebuilding a motor). I plan on getting new arp headstuds, felpro gasket kit, i have cp pistons in the car from a previous rebuild the last owner did, and carillo rods. Rebuilding because valve guide / stem seal(s) are failing, i burn through a shit ton of oil. So i got headstuds, felpro gasket kit, water pump, and am thinking about new oil pump. Do i replace the oil pump just to get it done since its 26 years old or leave it? I plan on a turbo, so will hopefully have the pistons on the lower compression side. My clutch is destroyed, and have been driving my car around pretty much with a clutch that doesnt grab half the time, and ive noticed a large power loss, so im buying a white bunny clutch kit and flywheel.
Do i need a new trans since ive been abusing it with a bad clutch or will i be fine running the current trans? I just dont want to destroy the new clutch setup because of a messed up trans.

Currently i did a compression test and numbers were all around 95/100.

Should i buy valve springs, valves, have the crank polished/machined, or do i leave it as is? When i pull it all apart and the crank and pistons are in good shape, can i put them back in the same state i pulled them out, or do i have the machine shop do something with them?

As you can tell i have lots of questions, if you have any tips to help me make sure i dont f*ck up like the last guy, please do comment.
So overall im asking:
What do i absolutely need to get machined or honed
What should i replace and get brand new while the motors out and apart, i want to make sure i dont need another rebuild for years since i wont be drifting it or anything like that and its just my daily.
I also have dual exhaust cams, when im measuring it all out making sure the lobes arent too close or too far from the buckets, do i just use the same exhaust cam measurements for both?

THANK YOU FOR HELP


Dont insult me if i sound uneducated, im learning, go onto another forum if you want to be an d*ck
Constructive criticism is ok though lmao
