Generally you don't need to set a timing belt. You replace it. If your car has never had the belt replaced it needs it now because regardless of miles, 10 years is about the limit. I'm thinking that the recommended mileage interval is 100,000 miles, but I may be off. Anyway, timing belt replacement requires a specialized tool to hold the engine pulley still while removing the capscrew holding it on that is torqued to 135 foot-pounds, a lot of torque. Although I did change my own belt, I had a friend who can make almost anything and he cobbled together a tool for this. Have your timing belt changed by a professional who has the tool for this engine. Change the water pump at the same time. You will be sorry if you don't. Good luck!
