having never put a timing belt on before or adjusted timing i didn't want to take mine apart either. Once i put it back together i realized it wasn't that bad at all. Make reference marks on the belt and cam gears up top and then on the crank pulley. That way when you put it back together you just line up the marks and you're good to go. Think it took me 20 minutes to put it back on.. twice. (prolly a good idea to make sure you have cam oil seals in before installing the belt. )

Ok i got the engine back in the car all by myself. Took about 1-2 hours, probably because i only had two hands. Took over half an hour to get the mounts in the holes. First time i have ever installed a motor.
I have to go out all night now to help someone who is djing tonight. I would rather work on my car but there are some other essential requirements for life--- in addition to boost of course.
Light is shining brightly at the end of the tunnel.
