HELP my M156 E63 2011

Hi guys- I think this is my first real actual post and I am despirately needed any and all feed back from experienced guys.

ISSUE- My 2011 E63 started making the horrible rattling sound during cold starts and would typically go away after a fewer seconds. As time passed it became worse and I am now at the point where I just want to do everything need to pump this engine with all the necessary parts need to make it rev happy again. ( car usually sits in my garage for weeks where I take it out every once in a while to raise hell..... I have longtube AR headers with deleted cats and resonators and this thing sounds unreal with WOT...seriously) which is why i will never get rid of the car.... i will keep it forever)
THE PLAN- Camshaft plates need to be replaced and figuired why not do everything else while i am in there.... so heres the list of what i am doing but before i get started i wanted to get feed back from everyone on here about whether im going about it the right way or if there was something else i could be doing. Any knowledge or feed back is needed..... This will take some time to get everything done but i will get pics and keep everyone posted on the process and outcome of doing this over haul
PARTS & HARDWARE REPLACING-
-VRP CAM phaser plates
-VRP 63 AMG street CAMSHAFTS
-M159 valve buckets
-APR M156 head stud kit
-Engine gasket seal (top end)
-APR M156 CAM bolts
-Fresh Liqid moly oil (5w-40) and filter(OEM)
**cant decide if i should swap out the injectors while im there as well**

Once this is complete ill have Eurocharged re-write my tune and hopefully we will get a nice and tasty performance bump. The car is in mint condition and it just hit 100k so im hoping this repair make the car rev happy and worry free for years to come.

Any feed back or thoughts on this that i should make please tell me.....

Thanks guys
