Hi everyone,
I'm a long time reader first time writer. Next week I'm going to replace my water pump and while I was in there I figured I mine as well replace some of the surrounding components. Here's my list. I'm handy but no mechanic so feel free to help/add/change my list in any way.

Water pump
W/P gasket
Spring tensioner
tensioner pulley
tensioner stud
front crank and both cam seals+(front oil seal)
hoses
idler
drive belt
clean MAF sensor
thermostat
window washer res. as it's cracked
and maybe the oxygen sensors

I think that's it. Is there any specific replacement brands to stay away from? I know OEM is the best and you get what you pay for, but I've been collecting new parts as needed off ebay at fraction of the cost of say Lordco or Canadian tire for the SAME parts.

I'm in the Vancouver area if anyone wants to get involved and help me out with this adventure...haha a long shot but it's still going to be fun.

Thanks in advance, and like I said any tips, tricks, advice or thoughts are welcome. (if you know what you're talking about):)

no idea when anything was changed, thats why I'm kinda going crazy. That and I love getting my hands dirty!
