Anyone replaced a diesel timing belt? 740-760 85

ICQ>

I don't know when the last time (if ever) the timing belt has been relaced on this diesel engine with 200,000 miles on it. I've done a number of B23 gas engines but the diesel has me a little worried as it sounds as if VW didn't help out with marking the different gears against the housing. Is this something for a real mechanic? Are the Volvo special tools necessary as Chilton says? I haven't checked into how much Volvo will charge. Any ideas or suggestions? It doesn't sound like this engine is forgiveable.

Also, chec king valve lash. Another task left to Volvo?
