Default ej20 rebuild...hints/tips appreciated

Hi all, so its time to pull out the old ej20.
problems are slight piston slap on cold start, slight what sounds like main bearing noise at 3500rpm, leaky camshaft seal & now clutch slip on boost.
Ive built a few other engine's in my time & been in the motor trade (bodyshop)nearly(er blimey) 30 yearsso i am assuming this job isn,t beyond me.
Any advice or info regarding the build/parts or suppliers would be greatly appreciated & i would be willing to exchange dent removal or bodywork for parts or hands on help or machining.
Obviously i want to keep the cost down so im not going to go silly spec but do want a strong enough engine to cope with any future power upgrades.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY REPLIES
