So today i pulled my balance shafts and replaced them with the eliminator kit. Everything in that department went smooth. When i went to put the timing belt on, i noticed few things. First, the idler bearing i bought doesn't fit, the old one had the mounting bolt almost flush with the outside of the bearing, the new one is recessed into the bearing, so the bolt i have is too long. So i'm stuck here, as well as the arm that the tensioner sits on. That has a grove wore into it, and i was wondering where can i get a new one?? I've looked everywhere and can't locate one.
Also my timing cover is shot.....the guy who owned it before me put a new timing belt on....what a joke....anyway he put like 3 bolts that hold the cover on and it wasn't flush with the block so the belts and pulleys wore some groves in it and now its junk. Anyone know where i can get a used one? Slowboy wants $100 for a new one, i'm cheap and not spending that much for one.
Also, last thing. I need a part number for the 1g intake manifold gasket. I took mine off thinking it was a metal one but its a cheap-o felpro that fell apart on me.
Can anyone help me out here? This car is starting to become my savings account really quick.....
for ya
