haha, thankx guys. lol i had my sis find some old nail polish to mark the cams and crank.

hardest parts
- taking out the fan clutch with only 2 adjustables
- god damn radiator hoses r a bia to tak off the radiator
- cheap hex bending. lol
- remembering how to put it all back togather after a few days. lol

anyone not experianced with working on cars attempting to do this, get teh right tools. (crank lock and (especailly the cam lock), fan clutch removal tool, lots of star and hex sockets!!! ) and crank up the car after putting on the new t-belt before u start putting all the covers back on. rev it up to make sure it's not jumping and feels like it's right on timming. if it feels like it's dragging/sluggish to rev, the timming is off.....

i've worked on cars before, not a full t-belt job or anything, but it's not that hard to do it your self.

if anyone is affraid to take off the core support, thats one of the easiest things. and soo much easier to do the t-belt than a fwd honda where u need to take off the mount, frame in the way, not enough room, etc....

 

Nice job on your timing belt. It's quite a job to tackle yourself. Congrats.

 

yeah it all depends on lift and duration....But for the most part 3 teeth wont do much

I just cant wait for inteligent valves that open and close with solenoids. Imagine tuning an engine or getting a apr chip that changes your lift and duration. the gains would be astronomical. No more needs for cams, tbelt or t chain. Oh the possibilities. I hear they are using it somwhere like f1 or something, I just cant wait til it reachs us.

 

they stopped using it on the f1 cars cuz now they use little v8s that rev to 25000 and the valves float at 18000 with the solenoids... i didnt use a cam or crank lock, never heard of them, just a spanner wrench which i didnt use, only a 19mm 12pt socket on an 18" breaker bar... but good job, next time you do one itll take 4 hours.

 

well I doubt Ill have a street car that I rev that high, and besides stiffen the springs that will fix float.

 

lol. thankx yall. yea it woulda taken me less time had i the right tools (atleast a good #10 rachet, lol). i had everything apart in 2 hrs, was missing a #10 rachet to take out the upper water pump bolt. i used ultra blue silicone with the new waterpump on each side of the gasket. seems to hold ok. woulda taken me like 5 hrs if i had the right tools and a air compressor. lol

 

i wanna rev to 25000k. lol

oh and yea, a few teeth off wown't damage the valves, i know this from experiance in a few different cars with interfereance engines...
