Hi Deserion, did you buy the $317 kit on PelicanParts or others parts?

No, I ordered the parts separately through Pelican. Pierburg pump, Elring Klinger gasket, Wahler thermostat (83*C) w/ housing. Ends up being $21.25 less than the kit (if you use the Wahler 71*C thermo) if you go separate, assuming the kit's parts are the same. Also went with an Opti-Belt drive belt.
