Do you guys know a place where I can buy all the OEM parts I need for my 2000 LS in one package? (As opposed to getting all the item numbers and then calling the dealership?

Sewell sells a "LS400 Timing Belt & Water Pump Kit " for the 2000 LS400 for $311.12 with the Club Lexus Discount.
The kit includes:
•Timing Belt
•Water Pump w/Gasket
•2 Idler Pulleys
•2 O-Rings
•Coolant
I'd also replace the tensioner since it can fail too. I've had three 90,000 services performed on two LS400's and have replaced all these parts and the tensioner each time.

Ok I found the timing belt kit on sewell.......please give me the PNC number for the tensioner you mentioned I should do so I can look it up on sewell (2000 LS400)...
Also how impt is it to do the thermostat and housing? these wont affect the timing belt correct?
