audis don't need rings, timing belt and water pump probably.

I have almost 240,000 miles on my 12v V6 and the rings are still A1, unless you are losing alot of compression your rings are fine. At 160,000 miles I would definitely replace the timing belt and water pump and the thermostat while you have the engine that far apart.

then maybe look at cleaning injectors and intake. I've seen some wicked crap come out of intakes. Carb cleaner will do a good job.

thats just valve seals

with 160K miles on that motor the head gaskets are probably ready to be replaced. you may also want to look and make sure that the valley pan gasket is all right.
