tools for timing belt

Make sure you coat the inner edge of your seals with oil before installation. Something to drive in the seals. The right size pvc pipe would do. A seal driver would be ideal, but they are so costly!(and not needed if careful).

Check all drive belts so you can have the ones you need on hand.

The bearing and tensioner combo for the timing belt. The tricky part is you wont know if you need one until you get to it(if it spins freely, its ok). If cost is no problem, you could just get one knowing you'll need it eventually. Or you could just go ahead and change it? Your call. I think the cost for those is a bit more, if you dont get it at someplace like fcp groton.

I have that crankshaft holding tool. What a godsend! I almost look foward to the job since buying it. Makes it so much simpler.

water pump gasket sealer: any that are compatible with sensors will do(I used the blue last time).

Pump can be a little tricky installing. Pry it up. make sure it stays in place as you torq the nuts. Make sure the gasket for the heater pipe is seated properly. Best,in my opinion, to put gasker on the pipe, then seat it as you put the pump in place. take extra pains to make sure it seats correctly. I use sealer.

Just my 2 cent worth.

Good luck

Lawrence
