Message	What did the "cheap" timing belt kits you refer to for other vehicles include? Anywhere near everything that Bernie listed above? Trust me, the peace of mind is worth spending the money to get all that stuff to install while you're in there anyway. It's no fun to finish the project only to find out your crank seal is leaking and you have to tear it all apart again. You don't have to live in a bubble just because someone else caught the flu. Make your decision on your ability to trust yourself. - NytWolf 15:49:05 12/17/06 I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft. - Hocuz77 03:04:56 02/28/06
