Hey Mudders,

I am about to replace my leaking valve cover gaskets, serpentine belt, water pump, and accessory pulleys for my ‘08 LX.

I have attached a snapshot of the parts list.

Am I good to go for order? Anything else I need to add to the shopping cart?

Thanks!

As far as pulleys & accessories goes, depending on your mileage, I would also throw in fan clutch and thermostat. In addition, you can get the majority of the coolant system parts off Rockauto and still have AISIN parts and save a good bit of cash. Not sure if you need anything additional on the valve cover job without looking at the FSM.
 
i don't have much to input but the water pump already comes with gasket. you don't need to buy additional gasket.

Coupling Assy, Fluid

Thoughts on leaving radiator and hoses untouched? Visual inspection of radiator shows no cracks.

The price differential on Rock auto is incredible.

@CruiserFan88 would you rely only on coolant system there for replacement parts? I do see alternate parts for items like belt tensioners but I am not familiar with the alternate brands. Any suggestions?

Removed from list. Thank you!
