Default 5spd sc300 looking to replace water pump and timing belt, need suggestions

Hey,

I'm due to replace my timing belt and water pump since the previous owner said he had not replaced them when he owned it (110k -190k). Now the car is at 191k and I want to do them myself. I am unsure of what I will need however.
Will this kit suffice? http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....7580&jsn=10501

is there anything else I need in addition?

Much thanks.

Might want to replace the thermostat while you are at it. Also remember to get that gasket. Kit is good.

Thanks!! Do you mean the valve cover gasket because mine is leaking. I'm gonna try to knock them all out in the same week. I heard of people replacing seals or stuff like that. Is it necessary or more convenient to do so while I already have everything off and which seals?

I mean the thermostat gasket. Valve cover gasket isn't too hard, just takes longer than a GTE.

You can always replace every seal on the GE "while you're at it." front seal, dizzy seal, cam seals...etc etc. GL!
