[V8] Which timing belt parts?

[kyle leatherwood]

Bill,

I went the full route when I did mine so I wouldn't have to pull it back 
down for another 60+.  I replaced all of the timing belt rollers, the 
tensioner, the plastic bushing that the tensioner rides on, oil pump 
bearing, oil pump seal, front crank seal, and front camshaft seals. Be sure 
to get the water pump bolts also because odds are you will wring one or more 
of the heads off.  It wasn't a bad job.  Not as bad as I was believing it to 
be.  Did it in a weekend.

Any questions, let me know.

Kyle
