Timing Belt/Water Pump Bitchfit.

I use fingernail polish to mark the gears and old belt, then transfer marks to the new belt.

Ditto, but I used whiteout. I've also heard of people cutting the old belt in half along its length, removing the front half, slipping on the new belt halfway, removing the back half of the old belt, then sliding the new belt fully into place. Never tried that one myself. Yet.

But then you can't change the cam seals.
