I know the part of the actual installing the gears is about the same, it's getting to the tensioner really that adds all the extra time. There's no way you could install cam gears on a pre98 in 45 minutes,,, just too much work involved,, well maybe you could if you've done it 20 times before and we're flying through it.... you gotta remove motor mount (which means removing coolant reservoir,etc.), then idler pulley and water pump pulley, remove middle timing belt cover, remove wheel, crank pulley cover, set to TDC, remove valve cover, lock cams, etc. then remove cams, install new ones, tighten everything,, setting the tensioner pulley is probably gonna take a few minutes for them to get figured out, then checking everything and putting everything back.... I think a trip to Chicago would end up costing bout the same with work missed, gas, food, hotel, etc. I think a bunch of CEGers just need to move to south Georgia.
