Hi Lrstaylor and welcome.

When you say you have ordered a Dayco kit are you referring to the timing belts?
If so, before you strip off the old belt check if the oil pump has been upgraded. If not you'll be needing one of them too plus the crank oil seal. (modified pump and original LR seal)
You will also need the cam locking pins, crank tool optional.

Again welcome to the forum, or Baptism of fire perhaps Laughing
