you can get the full Timing belt kit (including water pump) for about $300.
It looks pretty daunting... I guess a good part of the total cost is parts, which I've confirmed by pricing it all out on my own. Since I've never done one I'm worried that if I get it all pulled apart I'm going to end up messing the timing up and bending valves... And I'm not even sure how to replace the cam seals. I haven't cracked the FSM yet... Honestly I don't see a need to replace the timing belt and everything, but if it's already apart, might as well do it all now @ 76,000 miles instead of waiting a year or two for the 105,000 mile service... Wanna make $100 for two hours of work
