Default TB on a 40v - ordered from Blau

I'm going to tackle this the week between xmas and new years. I ordered the TB and drive belt kits from Blau.

Is there anything else I need to get? I see the harmonic balancer bolt and the camshaft seals on the list. Not sure if I need the camshaft seals on the 40v, bolt I can pick up at the dealer.

Are most of you guys leaving the front crank seal alone if it's not leaking?

Didn't someone recently have a problem with the Blau kit - wrong parts? I gave them them the VIN and engine code. Any heads up while I've got some time appreciated.

Default I had problems, but it could be just my luck

I ordered a TB kit last year and when it arrived thermostat was missing, damn, I had to do it anyway since tools were rented already, not a big deal, I used old one, but if it goes, I'll be mad. By the way, they send me a thermostat later with apologies.

Default I just used the kit from Blau and everything in the kit worked great. It came with the front

cam and crank seals in the kit.

Blau kit works well. Make sure you get the thermostat.
