well, take a look at the timing belt, if it doesn't looked cracked, etc....then it should be ok. change it at 60K....changing it now wouldn't hurt though.

How bad is it to change the timing belt yourself?

I say 7 on a scale of 10. tt.net has the write-up. It's excellent. You need to have a decent set of tools, and patience. You have to remove quite a bit of stuff to get to the timing belt. If you've done any wrenching before, you can do it. Don't try and skimp on the replacement parts. Replace everything that you can while you're in there.

I would do everything that comes with the 60k kit plus the upper and lower radiator hoses. I would also replace the vacuum lines and fuel lines that I could easily get to.

COURTESY 60k KIT

imho, no need to do the 120k kit with the idler pulleys since metal doesn't wear when it's not turning.
