According to Cherry Autoparts Network,
(http://cherry-auto.proxsoft.com/engines_and_engine_parts/18.html), between
$5,000 and $8,500, depending upon miles, including shipping to Naperville,
IL.
I have a vague recollection that there may have been a factory service
bulletin regarding the timing issue.
