Mine was over $400 in parts as well, but I also bought all new tensioners and the starter contacts and intake gaskets too.

I did mine over a 3 day period with no help. I'd say total it was between 10 and 12 hours, I couldn't put in a full day of work so I had to split it up. I went slow, didn't want to break anything. I've done Timing chains/belts on other vehicles, and honestly I'd say this one was just about as easy as any I have ever done.

Good luck, I'm sure you can do it if you can read instructions and turn a wrench.
