    need my timing belt and water pump done, still original. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do it with work now (also don't have space). Recommendations on shops?

    Hoe many miles you got on the current timing belt? You'll need more pieces than just timing belt as well. I recommend water pump, WP gasket, timing pulleys and tensioner, upper and lower radiator hoses, radiator drain n fill, thermostat, and drive belts. And when you call around for the water pump gasket, ask them to give you a description of what it looks like, good fun.

    Earlier version of the 3.4L water pump had a thin rubber gasket on there. New ones now come with a metal gasket.
