ack - run away
run far far away

the svx timing belt is so easy to do.
maybe you can bribe one of our many PA members to give you a hand with it. 2-3 hour job if you take your time and even remove the radiator.

If you only want the timing belt done, I am about 2,1/2 hours south in Cumberland Maryland.
A Subaru 3.3 belt is about $70.00, and three hours at $35.00 an hour would cover it.
BTW, We are having a mini meet this Saturday, and if you want to meet some other SVX people, here is a link.
