M20 Timing belt done today..
I finally got the timing belt done today.. man was it brutal I bought the car about a year ago and have benn slowly putting it back together.. (when i got it it was a mess) Just about everthing was broke or near broke. I only have to replace the driveshaft and thrust arm bushings. Then it will be squared away for the time being.. Man am I tired it seems like I took the whole front end of the car off.. Thanks to Winfred and to the others that helped me out with advice.. That belt was a bitch to get on once everything was taken off..
well thanks again
