helo have you bought the parts yet? I ordered a timing component kit and a water pump from rockauto. also got plugs and wires and bottom end bearings all for about $210
actually do you NOT have an oil cooler? i ordered the wrong water pump and I still have it unopened... and i want to get rid of it.
oil pump... don't worry about it i didn't replace mine either. and you have a spring tensioner so no worries .
theres two dots on the crank, get the right one. and its way easier without the radiator but not necessary. I got mine together and ended up 180* out. had it running in about an hour.
