So I'm planning on buying new parts for the engine cooling system. I was wondering what you guys think of these? Prices include postage.
NEW Radiator Holden Commodore VT VX V6 AT MT 97 02 | eBay $139.98
VT VX VY VZ Commodore Radiator Rubber Mount KIT V6 V8 | eBay $26.95
Holden Commodore VT VX V6 Gates Complete Radiator Cooling Hose KIT With Clamps | eBay $105
Holden Thermostat Housing Commodore VS VT VX VY Genuine | eBay $46
Radiator CAP Thermostat KIT Genuine Holden Commodore VN VR VS VT VX VY V6 OE GM | eBay $33.45
Commodore Water Pump VN VP VR VS VT VX VU VY 3 8 Litre V6 Gates Holden | eBay $36.95
Total: $388.33
Add to this radiator flush, distilled water and coolant which I will probably just get from Repco. Is this sufficient enough for a good service of the cooling system?
Also if I'm going to fit the water pump is it a good idea to buy a timing chain kit and install that with this stuff? Never had to do a timing chain before (have done a timing belt) so is this a difficult procedure to do?
Rollmaster LS1 Performance Timing Chain SET Double ROW VT VX VY VZ Commodore HSV | eBay $159.94
EDIT: Maybe a new belt and pulleys as well?
