i don't see how you can do the cams w/o taking the belt off and putting it
back on. at that point, the labor cost is dominant and you're crazy not to
do the whole shooting match all at once.

You can. I put my new cams in last summer without touching the belt. The pulleys stay in place--you just take out the bolts that attach the cams to them, and pull the cams out. Pretty clever, I think. So besides getting dirty, there might not be any redundant labor.
