Sounds like fun, I'll stop by. Let me know when
I thought some of you who have never seen one done might want to swing by and watch it done. I'm ordering the parts this week. I may do it this weekend or next weekend.
Chime in if your are interested in stopping by or helping.
BTW,
I'm doing it all. New timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys, belts, hoses, oil seals etc... The car has 176k and this will be it's second timing belt.

I would be interested depending on when. I have to work on Saturday (maybee) but Sunday would be fun. I can lend a wrench, I mean hand if needed.
I know I will need to do this to mine soon too, so I would like to watch and help if I can.

I want to come, but I'm probably going to spectate :). Hope that's ok.

I just had that done at Town North for $1100. And I didn't watch.
Check out the prices at Mazda South. They ate in Austin and as cheap as Trussville, but should be able to ship them FED EX ground and be a next day delivery.

I have to do this, my idler pulley is making noise. I have my ebay timing belt/water pump kit in hand, but I need a few more parts that I was going to order. It has only been 130K since the timing belt was changed! Please let me know when you are doing the tech day.

If you end up doing this on Saturday, I can pop in and show you how to NOT install the lower pump gasket. :) I'm out for Sunday because of a work trip, though...

i would love to come by and watch. since i wanna do stuff on my car myself i did the valve gasket today. just let me know when you do it.
I need to do the same to my 91 that I just got a couple of months ago so I'd love to see how it's done first. Just let me know when and where.
OK. I finally figured out where I'm ordering my stuff (Rosenthal) and I will place the order tomorrow.
In all likely hood I will not have the parts by this weekend so I will start on it Saturday August 30th. I figure I'll start around 9am-10am. This is Labor Day weekend which may hinder some folks but that's the weekend that works for me. I don't plan on rushing it and the three day weekend will assure I can take my time.
I will PM the folks who said they are interested in showing up my address and phone number.
To give an overall idea, I live in McKinney near the 75 and 380 interchange.
Here is the long list of things I will be doing.
Valve cover gasket
Accessory belts
All coolant hoses
Timing belt
Thermostat
Water pump
Tensioner and idler pulleys
CAS o-ring
Cam and crank seals
Given time I may also do a brake fluid flush and new pads and rotors.
Given even more time I may also install my power plant frame brace and my FM butterfly brace.
Got room to do another one at the same time?
Sorry, William. I'll still be in AZ on the 30th. I'll give you a yell once I get back to town to see if, by some chance, you're still working on stuff.
