No it's not very high tech....just loads of bits and covers and pulleys to get off, the VVTi timing has a second set of timing marks , so basic timing first, then turn to second set of marking and remove belt, hydraulic tensioner etc took around 5 hrs but could be got down to 3.5 if you done them all the time .
