timing belt change

[Sephroth57]

Im not sure when my belt was changed and its been about 15k miles since i bought it and I want to make sure im not gonna break anything so i want to get my timing belt changed. what are typical things you should get changed at the same time, and what is a decent price? im gonna call around and see what i get but let me know if youve had yours done and how much it is. also is it worth it to get a kevlar belt?


and im assuming they have to pull your motor to get the T-belt off, and i have a leaking intake manny gasket i cant get to myself without taking off major stuff so im gonna have them replace that also, shouldnt be a problem right?

Go here:

click on Engine and read the many, many pages on timing belt changing. And no, it's done inside the chassis.

I've not seen much feedback on the kevlar belt.

hmmm thats not good, cause i tried to to my intake manny gasket but i cant get to the bottom bolts i had everything on top off, and you cant reach your hand underneath the manifold to get the bottom bolts off i was hoping to just have them do it =\

That one about 3/4 of the way down I replied with a link to cost.


But a few people in that thread talk about cost also.
