well id guess from the pics youd still need a water pump and all belt tensioners etc

full belt kit is about 60-70
water pump 30
new big ends and mains are about 70
bottom end gasket set about 40

id say so yes

The reason i'm asking is i have a cavalier gsi with a non-pourus GM head thats been ported & polished and had bigger valves with kent cams & pulleys, kent hydraulic lifters and kent valve springs fitted. Its only done 3000 miles since head but the bottom end has done 115000 miles so i would like a fresh bottom end for when i drop it in the corsa.
