I got my water pump from Bursons.
Camskill has everything else, I don't know how long it takes to get it. Bennoz might have a better option ;)
It would be good to have the tension tool, again camskill sells it, you could buy it (or we could go halves in it after tax) and give it to me after we finish :D . http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b0s9p12850/ ... 6_DE3A_ALL
When I did my waterpump and reused my timing belt, I tensioned it with a hand made tool, no tension wrench, I ended up doing it a bit too tight as it's only 3nm. My tension wrench doesn't go that low, but I may be able to borrow one from work.
I reckon I could do it correctly next time using the hand made tool :roll:

Timing belt kit....

Full engine gasket kit.....

P.S. If it takes longer to get the parts, we will just do the job later :)
P.S.S. I will be buying all this stuff when I get my tax back :P

Alright, will send an email to Camskill as I wanted to buy a few other things from them.

As for the tensioner adjustment tool, would this work? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-B ... 5d2eda46aa

Looks the part, as long as the pins are the correct dimensions.

Well I placed the order with Camskill yesterday and the parts won't arrive by Friday, so we will have to reschedule.

The FTO waterpump will fail before your second timing belt is due for change. So always change it after the first change.

F*ck me dead, why the full gasket kit?

Well the reason why I bought the full gasket kit was because just the rocker cover gaskets and spark plug well seals were $130 and full kit was $190.

And prices aren't that shocking when you break it down.

$220 for the TEIN strut tops
$190 for the full gasket kit
$130 for the timing belt kit
$130 for the EBC Redstuff brake pads
$70 for the brake lines
$60 for the droplinks
and the rest was postage

I did the same :D
Full set of cam seals both sides/ends $91.97
Valve stem seals $186.91

FYI....to buy the kit in seperate parts would cost you $600+
ONE KIT =
Head gaskets
Rocker Gaskets
Spark Plug Seals
Inlet Manifold Gaskets
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
Valve Stem Oil Seals
Cam Seals
Crank main Seals
and lots of other gaskets and O rings

I think when I hit 150,000 Kms or something like that, I may look into doing a full gasket kit...
but that's another 25,000 Kms away...

The kit only comes with the cam seals for one side. (4 seals)

Still a good deal though considering the valve oil seals are the same price as the whole kit :cheeky:
....and we have head gaskets if and when required
