jonklein611 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 It's not super hard, does take some time, but a lot cheaper than going to the shop. Basic process would be (def read manual 1st), pull fans / shroud, belts, timing cover, i forget what else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Replace the cam/timing belt while your at it, also get some new idlers and tensioners. Oh, and a word of warning. The cambelt cover bolts are VERY similar to the water pump bolts. They fit, but are slightly longer, and will snap off in your block if you try use them for the water pump. not a fun situation, luckily my engine was in my other legacy's boot (trunk?) when i did it, so just drove up to my mechanic who got it out in a few mins.
