hopefully i will be done in the next 2 weeks. but i will be posting pics as i go, here are some that i took today.
^crappy phone pic
^we were trying to see if it fit to make it rwd
do you like my shelf?
this is after almost everything is out. as you can see to the right bottom of the picture i took out all of the a/c system, and all the way to the right thereare the half shafts but the passanger's side decided to stay in and not come out so when i tried pulling on it only half of it came out
and another thing, make sure what size your axle nuts are because when i looked at my passenger's nut it was a 30mm so i went to the store and got the socket and other things that i needed. and when it came time to do my driver's side it was a 32mm.
so yeah i just needed to vent a little
Ok first set of problems that i ran into. First of all when I pulled the engine out and took the timing comers off I moved the belt with my hand to see if it was tight and the left (front) bank jumped 2 teeth and the right (rear) bank jumped 3 teeth and both of them were the intake cams. So now that I'm trying to change my lifters I want to take the cams out so it can be easier. Is that the best way or not? And I was just about to go at it and then my friend and I noticed that the intake one on the rear side it has a timing device (I don't know what it is) and he told me that I had to mark that to keep everything in line. So what should I do first just take the cams and that sensor and just put it back together with the timing marks and the sensor where it was? Aside of them jumping teeth? And also about the vss how would it be the easiest to do them before I do my lifters or after is all together? and I do have a tool to compress the springs when the cams are in place.
I know I'm all over the place right now but I forgot something. How easy or hard would it be to reset timing if everything is out of wack and I just start putting thing together following the timing marks?
Another thing. Could something go wrong if I just take the timing belt off and let the springs move the cams since I'm already going to take them off?
