think about this job if the timing went there is a 90 % chance that you have damage to your heads. on the es model, make sure that the timing dots line up. you will have to use two vise grips to clap the belt against the pully and so that the timing belt doesn't slip, after your done make sure you can spin the engig cam around, as many times freely with out it binding up if there is binding that makes it very difficult to turn or when started the eng back fires shut it down quick for if you cause damage to your push rods or heads you will spend no less then 1000.00 to have this fix and thats if you find the cheapest parts your self and have a mechanic to fix it. good luck
