Hey guys,

Just bought my 1994 J30t with 117k miles on her. Got it for $2200. The timing belt hasn't been done so I need to replace it. I was looking at kits online and wanted to get your input.

I was thinking of buying this kit(Timing belt, tensioner, upper idler, lower idler, 4 cam seals, crank seal)- $110:

In addition to the kit, I should be replacing the waterpump ($50) and thermostat (local store - $20).

Anything else I am missing? Any suggestions? I am planning on keeping this car forever, So I want to do this right.

I would verify that T-Belt is Kevlar ..
And a 38 dollar water pump is asking for trouble !!
