However, depending on your mileage, you should get a timing belt component kit, just so you dont have to worry about old residue and crap on the pulleys, and they do wear out, and if one of them breaks, you just detroyed your motor.

Now, if you do the work yourself, find a good hyanduai forum where you can learn how to properly time that engine, as it isn;t easy, and will run about 300 for the labor to have it done for you.How much should it cost to change a timing belt, a timing belt tensioner and a crankshaft position sensor?Using RepairPal on my iPhone, a timing belt replacement (in Cleveland, Ohio, anyway) should cost between $365.00 and $458.00 ($86.00 to $102.00 for parts, $279.00 to $356.00 for labor).
