Default Parts needed for timing belt change

I'm going to change my timing belt on my 2000 Accord.
Are there any parts that I will need other than the following to do a thorough job?
-water pump
-tensioner
-timing belt
-secondary belt
-all front oil seals (3 seals & 1 gasket)
-thermostat

Thanks

That is pretty much all of the parts you will need.

There is a video on the ericthecarguy site that goes over how to replace the timing belt for $10 and is worth the investment, IMO.

recommend changing the valve cover gasket at the same time. good time to put spark plugs and external belts too.

Gosh, that sounds like a fairly big investment to replace all those parts.

Thanks guys!
I plan on using Genuine Honda parts.
Which of the online parts houses seems most reliable for Genuine Honda parts?

I've changed several timing & balance shaft belts on my Hondas over the years and always used parts from the local O'Reilly's auto parts store.

Lifetime warranty on the belts and never had a single issue. Much cheaper than the honda dealer.
