only thing is i called dealer for price quote, they said 547.00, can not afford even 200.00 at this time, may i ask, how important is this? i know if belt breaks, it is a new engine repair, i am scared now.

It bends the valves and the cylinder head has to come off to repair. Not something you can afford to risk. HTH Wayne

Mastershop around for a better price. we do the basic timing belt job for around 375-400. doing it the other way is around 650-800.
