Timing belt job on a mazda protege 1.6l 2000
 

Am planning on getting my timing belt, timing belt idler and tensioner, water pump, cam and crank seals and both drive belts replaced how long approx should it take very experienced mechinic to complete this job

It took me about 5 hours to do this job the first time.

I had to go back and check a camshaft seal so I pulled everything back off and put it back on in about 3 hrs.

I would say, 4 hours tops.

got the job done on sunday me and a friend and his friend did the job it tooks us 6 hrs to do it would have finished in like 4 hrs but after we finished the job and we started the car up oil started leaking a lot so we thought maybe one of the seals is not seated right, we tore the whole thing out again couldn't find the leak until we put everything back together but not the timing cover we saw the leak dripping really fast of out the valve cover near the cam seals but seals was not leaking so we used some black rtv silcone near the cams seal where the valve cover seal at and no more oil leaks.
