If you change the radiator it's a perfect time to add a ZJ Napa clutch fan I will be upgrading to this in the near future. Napa part number is 272310. Cool Max will not fit.

Regular Champion copper plugs are the ticket for your 93. Get the premium wires, cap and rotor (with brass contacts, not aluminum). And a tube of dielectric grease for inside of both ends of the plug wires.
If you are doing radiator and the water pump is old, I usually replace that at the same time you have everything drained down. And the thermostat as well. 195 degree.

Can't think of anything else offhand unless you have symptoms.
You are doing the right thing by performing comprehensive maintenance. With maintenance, it's pay me now, or pay me MORE later. I prefer to pay now.

yeah I figured I should spend my money there before anywhere else
at 118,000 miles it runs amazing. idles perfect with no vibration or weird hiccups
but it starts rough from sitting for 2 years. I need to flush it, replace the head gasket, and tune up and hopefully it starts nice and smooth
another symptom is a whirring at low rpms that goes away with acceleration.
sounds like a bearing or some other part of the pulley system. ideas? serp is good tho

If u replace hoses, radiator, t-stat and water pump, u only have to drain/refill coolant once, otherwise, it'll be multiple drain/refills.
......and as suggested, replace the fan clutch.

I'd check to see if Napa has them and what their price is. Otherwise, that one would be fine and you can check RockAuto's online catalog as well.

little update
so I actually went and looked under my hood and everythings been tuned up very recently
like stealership quality.. you think the PO wouldve mentioned a recent tuneup?
well that frees up some play money
still need:
radiator (small leak), water pump, B&M trans cooler, zj fan clutch, 195 tstat
possible 02 sensor
want:
spectre cowl induction and neon injectors
was thinking about pulling my own injectors and cleaning them up..
SYMPTOMS:: still have a rough start! suggestions? I hate it

I couldnt really tell you. It's hard to describe when you dont know a whole lot about engines
tried to take a video and of course it starts up perfect
I'll try again in the morning when it's colder

turn ur key on for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime before cranking the engine that should help with cold starts
