timing belt died
I'm kinda middle of the road on this one for difficulty. I had to make a tool to take the crank pully off which wasnt a big deal if you have a welder. I cut a piece of scrap to look like a big open end wrench and drilled two holes in line with the threaded holes on the crank and then welded a spare socket on to the handle section. Held it with that tool and used an air hammer to remove. The tool comes more in handy for installation because you can apply the right torque to the crank bolt. Absolutly change your pullys and water pump while your in there. I think I even changed my front crank seal for the hell of it 6.00 bucks .Oh yeah by the way the welder I got is a cheap piece of dukie from HF. 70.00 bucks. You do have to take alot of stuff off and work from above and below. Scale of 1-10 its a 4. Bought my 4afe at 90,000 miles for 500bucks. I have 140,000 on it now. Just a new distributor and a head gasket. Still runs like new. I change the tranny fluid every 30,000.
