I did my timing belt and water pump and various pulleys myself, and it cost me $900 in parts. So don't feel too bad yet. I would get the the pulleys off and re-time the VX. There are several videos on how to do it and the shop manual is available on this forum. Also, see my how-to. You should be able to see if the timing is correct without pulling the belt off. Which will save you some work.

The how tos are people that have changed them without breaking the belt.He needs to have them follow the TSB as it shows the correct way to re time the cams. shawn
