Belt: $70, Tensioner: $180, Water Pump: $220, Camshaft seals: $31 (bet
you forgot to do yours, you'll regret that shortcut) Shortshaft seal ???
$15, Crankshaft seal: $22, AC Belt tensioner bearing: $98 (if this puppy
goes you'll regret not putting a new one in), Valve Cover gasket kits: $
114 (you did do the camshaft seals? and how about the valve
clearances?), Spark plug well seals: $31 (don't you do these every time
you open the hood?) Antifreeze (no point putting a brand new water pump
into worn out antifreeze): $42.
Well that's not just changing the timing belt is it? Are you suggesting
they all have a 30k mi service interval and would be replaced at every
timing belt change? Even so I don't see how you blame the timing belt
for the short service life of other components. Compare apples to apples.
