What ever you do about the belt tensioner for the timing belt, please
make sure you do everything- timing belt, tensioner, water pump, front
crank seal and ESPECIALLY the spark plugs. Make SURE the plugs are
torqued properly.

If the plugs get loose- you're looking at $2700 in damage, easily, and
I was lucky- could have been more like $4000.

Definitely do the belt at 60k- the manufacturer's spec on this service
is seriously wrong.
