I recently deciding to start pulling my engine for a small checkup and overhaul. There is a loud ticking noise coming from the timing belt area it's not coming from anything internal. I noticed the timing belt cover was rubbed through in several places, so I figured the belts and pulleys were making the noise. I bought and replaced the cover still to have no luck getting rid of the sound. So any insight on this would but helpful. I have a OEM timing belt kit, waterpump, and balance shaft eliminate kit so I hope that will fix it.
Now to get on with the pulling the engine question. I have everything (I think) undone that needs to be, I've never pulled an engine before but it seems a little more tricky in a FWD then it would a RWD. Mainly because of the axles what are the steps to removing them? Another thing I haven't removed any of the Power steering lines or AC components, what is the minimum I need to remove on the belt side to pull the engine. Also any insight on tricky vacuum lines and electrical wires that I may of missed that need to be undone before I lift and break something would be nice.
