Timing belt
I'm looking at the two timing belt kits on ECS tuning and one of them comes with a lightweight crank pulley. Just curious if this is worth it, and what exactly is benefits.
Also, I'm not going to do this job myself, so I was looking for any suggestions on shops that can do it in the Boston (north) area, and what I should look for in regards to amount of hours of labor. Thanks!

you will not get a straight answer from anyone about the pulley..

I'd be willing to travel a bit if you really recommend someone. I'm in Beverly, so who do you know that's closest?

Re: It was a DIY tech day, he opened the shop on Saturday so it ended up
Kinda bummed I missed it...so I just talked to the manager there. He said in addition to the ECS timing belt kit that I should get the serpentine belt (that's included in the kit right?), the front cam seals (2) and the front main seal. Anyone happen to know the part numbers for those? Also he said to get the thermostat...just wondering on the part number on that too. One final question, any recommendation on coolant? Thanks!

Skip on the cam and front main seals, but def. get the thermostat.
I bought the seals and they are sitting in my parts bin because I didn't need them. Skip on the lightweight crank too
