    i am pretty open now,. anytime during the week after 1, and usually all weekend.

    thats what you need for the timing belt. does your friend have the special tools needed to replace the seals?

    seals are not 100% necessary until about 120K timing service, but Id hate to tear it apart and see leaking seals.
