Sounds like you have it covered. Gaskets shouldn't be an issue if he just uses silicone.

Re: 99 lx timing belt parts=?

The belt system (compared to a chain) is so simple and forgiving (that is, if the engine is "freewheeling" ... most are nowadays). With the belt, the water pump is usually mounted against the block's coolant chamber ... no "front (chain) cover" with all it's opportunities for mixing oil and coolant.

I have learned to love the "belt".
