OH yeah....

 

Yes that is the link to my website, it took me approx 9+ hours to complete the job which included stopping to take pictures, lunch break, etc. OMG I was sore by the time I was done!

How did it go for you Dthondatune ?

 

I did my own on my 98. Having never done a timming belt befor. It's an easy task with this advise. You must support your motor with blocks. Best to support it in a couple of places. Don't place supports directly on oil pan gasket lip. This will cause a leak later b/c you are crushing the gasket. Also I'm not sure why you need all those parts. I reused everything except the rubber belts. (X3) no a/c The whole job cost me about 110 bucks and an afternoon. Good luck.
