Major PITA to change. Had a radiator problem too (overheating), so I decided to change the water pump and timing belts all at the same time. Ordered all the parts (new bearing rollers, radiator, water pump, etc), but the water pump and radiator were wrong (sent me non-XT ones). Had to send the parts back for verification before they sent new parts out. It got nasty with the radiator vendor (who insisted that I'd eat the return shipping cost, even though they obviously sent the wrong part). Had to make my own tool to hold the main pulley to undo the bolt. The valves were under very strong spring pressure, making it slightly tricky to align the cams. Other than that, lots of stuff had to come off the car, including a couple of exhaust components (not easy to undo those bolts).

Definitely not as easy as on a 95 Civic SOHC.

Just spent the last day or so wondering if I would be better off with a used/older Sub then your post popped back in my mind and I recalled the gasket issues, etc. Shortly after that a Prius C whizzed by and I'm back to the C4. We finally have one locally to go see.
