Any idea of what a timing belt replacement, water pump, belt guides, etc. plus labor might cost for a 1998 Ford Contour?

do it yourself, 4 hours and you're done... not a hard job

the timing chains in a V6 is very labor intensive. Ive never heard of timing chains needing to be replaced. Only time I would replace them is if your pulling the engine and swapping a 3.0L. Then I would replace them.
