The biggest problem you WILL have is breaking open the crankshaft pulley bolt
for me, this is the easiest process.
takes 2 seconds.

Early gates racing belts were 125, but that issue has been resolved now.
My guess is you mate got the wrong belt...
I counted the number of teeth on my gates belt. 126 like you say for b18c
part number for gates b18c timing belt is:-
T247RB
for anyone searching up belts.

Should be no problem if you're handy with tools.
only thing you should triple check is everything lines up when putting the belt back on.
that's it really.
to break it down for you....
- line up TDC
- undo all drive belts. Alternator, A/C, P/S, engine mount
- take off cam cover, belt covers.
- undo crank bolt, tensioner.
- change tensioner, water pump, seals as you so wish.
- put the belt back on and make sure everything lines up. tension the belt
and then put everything back on.
I know it takes pro's half a day to complete but I'm a DIY'er, taking my time and cleaning as i go.
Halfway done. everything out.
I'm not changing main seal or cam seals. looks spotless. water pump was pretty good too but changing anyway.
Nice work. Doesn't sound that involved. If you were to change the cam seals and main seal, are they easy to do? Can you just sort of pry them off and then carefully knock the replacements back in?
What's with the gunk around the base of the block? My car had something similar, thought it might have been a bit of weeping from the main seal. Or out the sump gasket I suppose.

Nahh man that head looks minty as
No oil staining whatsoever
The only problem i'm facing is breaking open the crackshaft bolt with hand tools... 3/4' tools look hard/expensive to get
i don't own any air tools
And i know you need one that has at least 500nm of torque
As the thread is counter clockwise and the car rotates counter clockwise - its like an oxymoron LOL
