Answer
4 CYL OR 6 CYL?
ON A SCALE OF 0-10 10 BEING THE HARDEST. I WOULD RATE IT AN 8.
UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE IT BEFORE AND KNOW THE VEHICLE AND THE WAY THE TIMING BELT AND CAMS GO TOGETHER IT IS HARD. BUT I AM NOT UNDER-ESTIMATEING YOUR ABILILTY. GET A CHILTONS BOOK AND GO FOR IT. IT TAKES ME TO DO A 4 CYL FROM START TO FINISH WITH NO REST AND REPLACEING ALL SEALS ABOUT 3-5 HOURS. DEPENDING ON IF I RUN INTO PROBLEMS WITH VALVES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. PAUL P.
