Yea, been reading through a lot of threads, and while I am mechanically inclined, i'd rather leave something like that to the professionals. Thanks for the advice! I'm going to just go ahead and have a shop do the timing belt and waterpump. I've spent more than I'd like to admit making this thing brand new, I want to know i'm selling it to someone in the best condition possible. From what I've read online, this is a great kit to buy, does it include the bearing that I need to replace?
