3vze timing belt change....
If I ever even think about doing it myself again, someone please for the love of God put a bullet in my head! It's not really that hard, it's just taking FOREVER!!!!
9 hours of straight work and counting......
Swapped both idlers (old bearings were shot to hell) and the water pump too.
I need beer and lots of it - and AFTER the hangover im do a write up. (I took an asston of pics)

I remember on a camry V6 pulling the heads and doing a valve job, timing belt and water pump all in a day, but at the end I had a headache that even a bottle of advil couldn't cure.
Just the timing belt I could probably do in 3-4 hrs with air tools and no rusty bolts to deal with.
