The funniest bit was when he put a replacement head on it. He called me over to check if the cambelt was installed properly, and he had the cam 180 degrees out. Luckily we managed to turn it round to the right position without having to take the head off again.
On a 4 cylinder engine, it would be a false economy not to change the belt, because it's really easy. Spare some sympathy for me when I have to change mine on the 1.9, 5 pot, those crankshaft pulley bolts are tighter than a very tight thing. Much easier on the 4 cyl.
