Reman Head : reputable sellers?

[TheDon]

RockAuto is good on prices.. However I have everything I need and its shipping from... 5 different places.. So I'm actually paying more than the dealership with tax at the moment!

I'm probably just going go get the stuff from the dealership except the waterpump and timing belt since those are a lot cheaper on Rockauto and ship from the same location.

Right now my total is between rockauto and the dealership with tax and shipping is around $240.

Not bad and that is for the following

Timing belt
Timing belt pulley
Timing belt tensioner
Water Pump w/seal (gates part but it says "reverse rotation".. what does that mean?
10 Head bolts
Exhaust manifold gasket
Intake manifold gasket(s)
Head gasket

Then I will need coolant, distilled water, oil, oil filter and the wrench for the water pump(where can I find that)

anything else you all can think of?
"While you're in there" gets expensive.. I know this from owning 3 Mercedes and 2 Deloreans

Timing belt and water pump paid for on rockauto... I googled "rock auto discount" and found a 5% off code. Awesome.

I opted for 3 day express shipping so I know it gets here on time. The 5% brought that shipping cost down to the price of ground. Good deal in my book..


also, I'm not posting for the sake of getting posts. Just keeping everyone updated that has been following my thread.
