A 3.4l engine? If so, the kit in post 1 or 6 above (or AirCabinMans less expensive kit) will do the job. Also, pick-up a crank bolt from the local dealer as it's listed as a non-reusable part.

Post 1 here for a very good tutorial.

 

Ya my bad 3.4 thanks

 

Welcome!

 

How much is a motor with that low mileage costing you, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, here's FSM timing belt docs:
