Well, I'm a little slow on the draw this afternoon...h:

Welcome to HAN!

With regards to the timing belt, if the car has been sitting unused for a fairly long while, and it's already well past the replacement point, I'd definitely change the belt first, before even turning the motor over. As mentioned before, when it breaks, your valves will be mulched. :eek3: Be sure to replace the water pump and tensioner at the same time as the timing belt...should either of those fail or sieze, bad things can happen...h:

Overall, I think you're off to a good start. Enjoy your stay. :cheers:
