Default timing belt service.

Well my car is in the shop today having the timing belt service performed (ultimate kit from ECS)along with new plugs (NGK BKR7E gapped to .028), energy suspension dog bone bushings, and ECS light weight crank pulley. I can't wait to get it back this afternoon. Is there anything I need to watch for or listen for after having the timing belt service done?

Thanks

I have a Dogbone moun. it is not going to make a HUGE difference.

will make power delivery a little crisper when you change the gear get on the gas. FYI expect low rmp vibtrations, regardless of how you want to play with the clutch it will still cause vibrations.

the ES dogbone insert that i got required a 20ton press to get it installed so, be prepared.

I'm doing them this weekend, I bought the 2 piece kit, and am not replacing the center bushing, as it is my unerstanding it is semi- permanent, and only meant to be replaced if damaged.
Don't know why anything about the kit would produce vibration.

i bought the three piece kit but i'm not having them do the cylindrical bushing either. i expect some vibration due to the fact that the new bushings are polyurethane and not rubber but i'm not really concerned about it.
