    I got my head gaskets & head bolts from these guys:

    I was very pleased with the items I ordered but can't vouch for these. You'd still have to source the Water Pump but maybe they carry that too.

    Don't bother with their website - it was less than useless but their ebay listings are accurate.

    Just one word of warning on the OEM parts; get ready for sticker shock.

    I did my timing belt and water pump replacement a couple of years ago and used all stock components. It was EXPENSIVE, compared to some of the Ebay kits, but I figured since the first set lasted over 100k then the second set should last just as long.
