Flat rate time to change timing belt?

[Chris89lx]

Does anyone know the flat rate time for changing a timing belt and tensioner on a 1993 Eagle Talon AWD turbo?
How are they to do and how long does it actually take.
Any tips or secrets?

Thanks.

This and the service manual got me through my first one.

It only takes me about an hour and a half. If you find some parts that need replacing or encounter bolts that don't want to come loose due 2 corrosion, then it could take ALOT longer. Make sure that you have a repair manual. PAY ATTENTION THE TORQUE SPECS FOR EVERY SINGLE BOLT. If you don't use a torque wrench to torque down everything to spec, something will come loose and you will crush all your valves.

A full water pump and belt change pays 6 clock hours.
