^agreed. I had already bought the kit - so i may as well put it on now...
It can't hurt - and the money is already spent... |
Okay!
here is what i did accomplish: Timing belt Waterpump UD Pulley Header Inpsected the first cat Installed MIL eliminator Oil change I didn't recieve the motor mounts in time to do those - and it makes more sense to have the intake off first... i also still need to clean the EGR and replace the tranny fluid. So it became a two-stage process. Impressions: Electric impact wrench made the header work and pulley removal a breeze... Gotta' love that PB Blaster stuff! :shooter: Timing belt took two people (my lovley wife needed to hold the intake cam to get the marks to line up (i didn't do the TDC - i just marked where they were). The spring loaded cam didn't want to stay where it needed to be). Not a big change. :( She pulls a little harder in the mid range and top end. No Drama. Not noticably louder. No slipping with the Gates belts/UD pulley. No CEL so far... Summary: If i had not gotten the UD pulley and header so cheap (~$150 for both:) ) i would be really disapointed. I gotta' do the mounts - there is evidence of the main mount worn/partially separated. (gotta' update muh sig! yeah!) |
Update.
Still waiting for motor mounts (everything else arrived quickly). Ken (pm sent) has not gotten back with me to let me know when i can expect them... Standing By. |
