It's cakewalk, my friend. Just make sure to line everything up to spec, that is the most important part along with tensioning the belt itself...
good luck

<and be patient with your 1st timing job, it will prove to be a very educational experience>

yeah, changing the timing belt is a hard job to do.....if you let it be. I will say this; the job is not for everyone to attempt but for someone who is halfway mechanically inclined, can read a Helms (or an equivalent manual), and will not try to rush or take shortcuts can definitely do the job. Now time wise you are looking at anywhere between 2-6 hours depending on whether or not you get hung up in certain areas. A little piece of advice for you, make sure you have a tool to help you hold the crankshaft pulley while you try to remove the bolt. That thing is cinched down to 170 lb.ft. of torque and is a little bastard to take off sometimes. Hope everything goes smoothly for you!
