+1^ Can you change the Head Gasket without a drop as well... I'm about to find out... >_>

The timing belt CAN be changed without dropping the engine. You have to disconnect the passenger side motor mount to do the job so just place a piece of wood (to protect the oil pan) on a floor jack to support the engine from the bottom. The Haynes manual outlines this procedure fairly well.

EDIT: Same goes for the head gasket.
