Re: 1987 toyota camry 4cyl timing belt/water pump replacement.

I paid a mechanic $150 in the SF bay area. I did most of the work, but had that guy double check the timing setting. Next time around, I won't need his help anymore. I know more now, got intimidated with timing settings, but was not that difficult.

I paid $40 for water pump and 30 for belt. Overall, it costed me $230 vs. $800 (dealer). I could have paid the mechanic say half the money, but this guy stayed with me for 4 hours in the warm-sun.
