plenty on here about oil changes and dry cranking just do a search, changing the cam belt you can do yourself just done it myself for the first time, its quite easy just do some research.

dont worry scoobys are simple to work on, frstly oil change, i have never had any issues with dry cranking,
spark plugs are down the side of the block 2 each side do them 1 at a time so you dont mix the coils up,
cam belts, i can do them in less than an hour, all the pulleys are straight forward apart from the crank pulley which has 1 mark and another one which can be confused, you will need a vice to compress the tensioner but it is pretty simple, take the rad off and you are in there no probs,.
the knock is probly a mount i reckon,.
