It takes no lie less then 45 minutes to do all of this. but sure, if your about to pay the dealership an *** load to do something as easy as a timing belt service, then maybe you ont know as much as you think.

And I DID tell you how to fix it!, "your going to have to rip it all apart and redo it. the end", what did you not get about that? that is the easy way to fix it.

Im not giving you flak. just stated the right way to do it, obivously you didnt know, so I figured id let you know, if you DID know, your timing would be right.

thnx lemme know if you want to save some money on that 60K service and learn how to do it.

How would you responded to someone that wanted to know how to rebuild their motor? "Rip it apart and build it"? I'm sure they'd appreciate your input.

So now that we've finally made some progress, do I need a new water pump when I do the belts, if I decide to do them myself?

Thanks
