as long as you keep all the timing marks ligned up and tighten the nuts correctly it is a pretty straightforward job. depending on access, it may just take a little while.
If not sure about all the marks etc then perhaps just as easy to take to your local mec to do.

the 1kz is pretty simple to do afaik, depending on the model it can get a little fiddly but its certainly not the hardest one to do!

rough indication on price for whats needed

a toyota belt preferably and theres a gasket ? and the tentioner ?

[Mr Revhead]

..and dont try and be a hero and do it with the fan shroud left on..

..just makes things harder

omg $450
1/2 to 1 hour job tops.
around $55 for genuine part.

a cambelt at toyota, they class cambelts as a 2-3 hour job, so thats what they charge. inc
-belt
-tensioner (common)
-LABOUR!!
-GST

but most of the time, itl be part of a 100k service, or similar.

but 450 may be over the top, for a cambelt job on a 1kz
