we just finished mine a while ago... 8 hours no problem. heres a basic price breakdown

Parts:
Timing Belt - $90
Water Pump - $96
Tensioner - $70
Tensioner Spring - $5
Distributor Cap - $20
Distributor Rotor - $20

Parts: $301 (this is assuming highest cost direct from dealer, not online)

now there is more you should change... but that's the big stuff... highly suggested you do plugs/wires at this time as well.

you can bring it to the dealer and they will charge you about $90/hr and they CAN do it in about 3 hours... but they will ACTUALLY finish in about 8... and your paying for it.

a reputable shop can and usually will do it in about 3-4 hours and depending on the shop will charge about $50/hr

so your looking at about $2-300 + parts for a good shop
and your looking at about $650-720 + parts for the dealer...so about $1000
