Solid buckets in the Zetec make it impossible to adjust the valves, just FYI.

the caps are changeable. You change the cap size to adjust the valve clearance. So technically they are adjustable.

I would say it would probably cost around 3 hours labour to change the timing belt. I am not a fan of replacing compnents that dont have problems, so I personally would not replace the waterpump at the same time, but thats all a matter of preferance. ive probably only seen one focus at my shop with a waterpump problem. ive seen more problems with timing belt tensioner pulleys, than I have from waterpumps.
