    You might want to add a couple of things:
    (1) You should strongly suggest that the tensioner pulley be replaced at
    this time to renew its bearings (the hydraulic tensioner can be re-used
    as they seldom give problems). This is an interference engine - it
    would be a shame to loose it because a $30 part was not replaced and it
    went bad.
    (2) You might mention too that if they don't use one of the new-type
    short pullers for the balancer pulley, they'll have to remove the
    radiator to make room for the more traditional type of puller. Many
    auto parts stores rent out the special short pullers.

    Engine does not look like the 3.5 in my 2000 3ooM.
    Is this an older engine? Any difference in belt changing technique?
