    Bart,

    That write up is uber extensive. I was a little apprehensive about doing this kind of thing myself, but with your write up printed out right next to me I am confident that I can pull this off. Looks like part of my tax return will be going towards replacement parts, and one of my weekends will be going to a timing belt replacement.

    Kudos to you!!

    Thanks guys. I'm glad it will get some use. A lot of tutorials out there don't have any photos, or only few photos, or worse, few crappy photos. So, I tried to remedy this with my tutorial.

    And, as an added bonus, for you good people of VehiCROSS.info, I am willing to be at the ready with my cel phone when you decide to do your timing belts in case you have additional questions. Just PM me. I know it would have helped me when doing mine if I had a trusty VXer on the other line to ask questions to.

    Now, go get the parts and do your VX a favor!!

    Bart,

    Amazing! Incredible contribution to the family. And the satisfaction of doing this all on your own. If you lived nearby I would certainly want to give you beer! But, in all sincerity, NICE JOB!
