It sounds like your on the right path. Anytime I do a tbelt if the waterpump is driven by it I put a waterpump on. It's just smart. Good maintenance. I'm not sure off the top of my head what the specks are for valve lash but it sounds as if you are doing it correct. Yes a long rod can be used and is a good trick for tdc on a cylinder. Good luck clean all connections. Bad grounds or dirty connections are nightmares. They can cause all kind if drivability issues.
