Timing belt replacement tip
If you are replaceing the timing belt this would be a good time to service the power steering also.
Since the power steering pump must be loosened any how, remove the reservoir and flush and replace the o ring at the base of the reservoir. This may save you a pump replacement down the line.
This o ring deteriorates and allow air to be sucked in thus causing foaming of the fluid and a noisey pump.

I understand they all have timing belts that should be replaced around 100K.
While its apart also replace the water pump ,idler pulley and serpintine belt.
