Well, after working out the numbers it is easier and less costly for me to have the shop that diagnosed the problem to fix it.
$40 for tow to shop - $50 diagnosis - $30 belt - $25 for gaskets - $ 140 labor = $285
NOt having then do it...
$40 tow - $50 diagnosis - $135 40 mile tow to home - $30 belt - day to try and do it myself is very hard to come by...
Besides, I try to reserve my time in the garage spent on my 99 Convertible Camaro SS if my wife is going to give me time in the garage.
The timing belt just cost me my first upgrade to the SS...
