96 timing belt

Anyone done a timing belt on a 96 2.3. Also is this a interferance engine.

Check out the link I have in the tech info thread for the procedure. I'm pretty sure it's non-interference.

How long did it take you? Got a guy says he will do it for $70. I can do it myself but
I have been working 70 hours a week and that doesn't count the 3 hours a day to and from work.

Spend the $70 and hang around to watch. The last thing you need is to be real tired and get into a job that requires focus & thought.
The engines are non-interference. Sometimes when the T/belt breaks, it will take out the crank sensor.

I agree, if you are already tired it's not a 30 minute job.
It took me most of the afternoon.
$70 bucks sounds very cheap.
