      Mine was $260


      Make sure the timing is 100% dead on, otherwise your valves will bend. Thats what happened to me

      xstevex - who's your mechanic? I'm in Lansing but I would drive to Muskegon if it saved me a few hundred on a timing belt job.

      Was it $260 because of the extra work involved?


      And how is the job as a DIY project?

      I have full tools and the know how, but maybe its a headache better left to the dealer? if its cheap enough I suppose
