So it's done! 90k mi service of sorts....

Well, I bit the bullet today and did my preventative work. Took the whole day off work, and needed every bit! All of it was done under the carport at my apartment complex...

Mileage: 94,550

1) Timing belt (stock)
2) Front crankshaft seal (leaking)
3) Water pump ('cause I was there)
4) Driver's side cam seal ('cause I was there)
5) Radiator hoses ('cause radiator was removed)
6) Coolant replacement
7) Spark plugs (pulled them for TDC)
8) Drive belts (they were due)

Thought it was going to be a cinch, but ended up having to run downtown for a chain wrench. Also, I found that the newer 2.2 timing belt tensioner makes installing the belt a real pain!

Turned the key, and she fired right up --- yay!

Nice job.

Your engine looks clean.

Do you have a permit for that headgear?

Coolio, but for future reference if the chain wrench you bought was for the crank shaft pulley you didn't really need it. If it's an auto there's an access port at the rear of the engine, remove it, and jam a breaker bar or screwdriver or something into the flexplate, or you can put a socket with a long extension on one of the bolts on the flexplate. If it's a man put it in 5th, or if you feel lucky jam something into the flywheel through the access plate. If you were using it for the cam sprocket I find it easier to remove the bolt with the belt still on, that way you can use the above method and it'd still work since it's still connected to the crankshaft, whereas if you removed the belt the cam would just spin. At anyrate, good job! :)

Oops, I missed the "If its a Man line"...Too early for my brain I guess...

Well, she did seem fairly mannish.

Yeah, it was for the crank pulley. I've been removing the cam pulleys with "standard tools" :roll:, and had thought about both your options during the process; but I'm self-taught, and when doing that kind of stuff I just follow the book *almost* to the letter. :wink:

Thanks for the nice tips, as they should make the next one a lot easier.
