waterpump is an option, a good one to excersive if you've got some miles on
it...

you'll need the timing cover gasket, water pump gasket, water pump outlet
pipe Oring (one of the heater hoses), a new bypass hose is cheap insurance.
RTV and some thread locker, harmonic balancer puller, 32mm socket. The
crankseal should be replaced if you've got the $$ for it, might as well
since it's out :) 2-2.5 gallons coolant.

Make sure to pull the water pump off before the timing cover, if not you'll
wind up with a lot of coolant in the oil pan. Do yourself a favor, make
sure the cam sprocket bolt is torqued (21ft/lbs) and threadlocked BEFORE
installing timing cover.... dummy me finished a crappy day @ work by coming
home and doing that very thing :-O Must've been the *$#&@ RX7 pos i
worked on...

I am about to perform the timing chain tensioner TSB, and wanted to make
sure I got all the necessary parts before I start the job (as I am a poor
bastard, and dont have money for parts I forgot to buy). I've already
purchased the timing chain tensioner... and am about to get a timing chain
and gear set from bernd.... I know I am going to need some gaskets, and
radiator fluid.

I need waterpump, and frontseal? is that it?
