Parts needed for exhaust valve replacement

To cut a long story short my polo needs valves replaced on cylinder 1 due to misfiring caused by cylinder 1 being 60psi down in comparison to the others. My parts list is as follows:

2x exhaust valves
Valve stem seals
Head gasket
Timing belt kit
Oil and filter
Coolant

Sound about right? Anything I've forgotten? I know it seems cheap replacing only the 2 valves but I'm selling the car when she's running again so it's a bare basics job. I have a valve Spring compressor and grinding kit.

It will be a 1.4 16V but I can't say which version it is, ie if it is an A?? or a BBZ.

Oh, BBY spits out 75PS, BBZ output is 100PS.

Your sig quotes Polo 9N 16V 100Bhp?
