I'm just considering closing some of these threads is all. They seem to ramble on in so many directions other than the original one.

Yeah...I'm not sure how that happens but it does.....

yeah but we always get on the right track, and most of the times when we do get off topic is when the problem was solved, or at least offered solution....or when the problem has been found

This was a bad one. I think there's more on this thread about random crap than there is about a 60k service. We need to work on that. We'll try harder, just for you Rizz.:D

I concur Rizz....did you check out my art in exterior thread???? rizz??

Yes, I saw.
Thanks, I think.

What is this...kindergarten? Hey daddy Rizz, did you see the picture I drew for you...did you did you??!! Did you like it? I made it JUST for you!. hahaha, jk, I couldn't resist.

!!!!ROFL!!!!

!!!!LMAO!!!!

OMG!! That just floored me! 2funny!! :p

I'm glad you enjoyed it Rizz. Did you did you? Did you like my joke...huh huh ??? He liked mine better than yours! nana nananna. :p

Come on Emo the only reason i said that is because Rizz made a comment on my art when i was explaining Nismo what lip is...but he still likes my art better than yours don't you Rizz????:D he does he does :)

haha, I was just messing around.

i know....but he still likes my art better ...right Rizz??? :)

I wonder any shop that charge cheap to do the timing belt?? my car is at 142k and I don't know if the previous owner did the belt or not because he went to jail uh oh... the car runs fine, it does make little noise when the car is cold at start up tho (I was told it was normal, car needs warm up)

I am thinking if the 60k was not done, the belt would've been broken already.. but I would really want to be sure that the timing belt won't slap because I gotta drive it to school.. Thinking about doing it myself but I could really have a friend help me on this.. anywhere in the bay area, sf to san jose or somewheere is cool.

Hey, after I do mine...then maybe I'll know how to do it well enought to help you on yours. we'lll see.

Just an FYI, this is what you should expect to see. It's intimiating getting to this point, but reassembly is always easier than disassembly.

This timing belt had approx 70k on it. It was very loose. The idler pulleys could be spun manually.

This is usually a bad sign.

Nice pics.

Thanks. My dad did this kinda crap for a living. He was an extended powertrain warranty inspector. Basically, if you bought an extended warranty and the car broke down, my dad was the person the insurance company called to go out and take pictures and try to determine what really happened. That was when I 1st learned to never trust dealerships and repair facilities. What a bunch of crooks.

Hey thanks for the pics...maybe they'll help to a point at a later date or now for some people.
