Unless you've done it before take it in. If you screw up your timing and don't do it right then you will destroy everything in the head. It's difficult too and you MUST have the right tools and know-how. Do not attempt it if you're a novice.















-don't get cocky with it either. You can cost yourself a lot more money than it would to have the timing changed by a professional...

I highly doubt that there's a kit available. A timing chain needs oil to be lubricated where your belt has no oil passages going to it. Why switch anyways, they're good for at east 60k miles. Change it before it fails, it doesn't cost much. Timing chains have there drawbacks as well.
