I was working on the timing belt/waterpump/thermostat/seals today.. I was hoping to have her somewhat road worthy by this weekend but I need to order some needed parts for the car to run.
While trying to remove the rotor, all 3 allens stripped and would not come off. I managed to break two loose with a wrench but the third didnt have enough room. While attempting to remove it, I destroyed the actual rotor. I was planning on replacing soon, just not today. Along with the cap, that was well in need of replacement I think i found the source of the slight misfire. all the leads where gross and fell apart when i touched them.. Upon inspection the water pump and timing belt seemed to actually be in great shape. Everything in this car has been brittle and I was afraid the timing belt would be the same. I replaced everything anyways so I KNOW what is under the covers! I was taught to always make things nicer and cleaner when I work on cars so I always try to clean it up some while being mindful I dont have the budget to a complete rebuild of everything.
before:
degreased and cleaned the entire area I could!
I left it like so waiting for certain parts that I cleaned up and painted to dry. The car will be done tomorow waiting for new rotor, cap, and wires to come in. Hopefully by Monday they will be here. ugh.
So in all, only OEM parts replaced today:
-Timing Belt, Tensioner & Spring
-Water Pump / gasket
-Thermostat / Seal
-Camshaft Seal
On the way:
-Bremi Cap
-Bremi Rotor
-Bilstein B8 Rears
-A/C Drive Belt
-PS Drive Belt
-ALT Drive Belt
I feel like I forgot to order something :/ Someone buy the 2.93 from me!
Hope you guys enjoy the progress! I cant wait to drive the car and feels all the new parts :)
