So, going off of the lists here earlier, to do the timing belt and water pump, I just went ahead and bought everything-to include tools, to do it...ouch. (on the tools part, really) I had thought I'd be good at around $650.00 total, but I forgot about the TB tensioner tool and cam gear locking tool. I'm sure I probably could have figured something out, but I'd rather just have the tools so the next time I have to do this, I have them already-so I'm considering it an investment. Here's what I got, and the prices of them...I'll only post the price difference if it was different from the Timing Belt Parts thread...
Timing belt
Tensioner pully
Idler pully
Timing cover gasket $.16.27
Water pump
water pump O ring (I know a couple of guys said they got it with their pump, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...) $8.63
tools-
intake camshaft alignment pin
exhaust camshaft alignment pin
cam gear locking tool $244.00 (from millerspecialtools.spx.com)
TB tensioner tool $50.22
My grand total came out to be $1054.71...owwwww....
However, I figure, if I ever need to do this again, all I'll need to buy is the belt and water pump at around $400.00, and Ill have everything else I need to do it with already-at least I'm trying to tell myself that to justify the grand.
