As far as information about the timing goes:

I suggest to get the special tools. This is the kit I got.

I think you could suffice with the tensioner tool alone. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here with one that would let you borrow it.

Hope this helps.

Timing belt is very easy if you follow the VFAQ. Step #27 I believe tells you to use factory belts. Its very important to use factory. I know from experience.

Super easy, once you do it you'll be astounded. Just make sure the gap is right. I made my own tool using a long grade 10 bolt and re-cutting threads into it, add some lube to threads before inserting :nod: works great.

A little hint, the factory battery hold down bolt for 1G's can be used at the tensioner tool buy threading it up a bit more.

I don't even use the bolt anymore. I just use the pin.
