When John & I replaced mine, it took about 5 hours. We changed the water pump and added a tranny cooler while we were in there. There is a test in the FSM for determining if the pulleys and tensioner need replacement. Mine passed all the tests so I left the originals in.
It is not difficult, just requires patience. Aligning the cams and crank is easy if you have the FSMs.
BTW: only two cam sprockets are on the EG33. The other two cams are run off the main cams by internal gears, not from the timing belt.

So it's timing belt time (insert parade music here). I was recently quoted nearly $1100  for replacement of the belt, tensioner(s) pulleys (I don't think I really need the pulleys) and water pump.
Seems just a TOUCH high to me. I've changed my own before. 1 belt, 2 cams...2 belts, one cam...1 belts, one cam...never done 1 belt 4 cams...I really don't want to either. For $1000 I might though.
What's a good average price for this work?
