Was putting my AFPR in tonight and noticed bunch of oil on bottom frame so i was looking at it, and could only think one thing. The plug that plugs the hole for the balance shaft came out i think, oil all over the tbelt, im down a quart and noticed lifters were tickin last few days probalby due to lower oil.

BAH, so now i gotta throw on another tbelt and im gonna jbweld the living piss out of that plastic plug LOL

everytime i think everythings going good something blows up or starts leaking or takes a dump LOL, i hate dsm's
 
join the club, i just started the new motor and had that plug come out.. i'm definitely using jb weld on everything now and have to spend more money on a new timing belt..ugh!
 
i got it apart tonight and found out my plug is still there, one of my bolts on the timing belt tensioner came loose and was partly out, and all the oil was coming out of there and it was dripping right on the tbelt and dispersed the oil very nicely around the whole area

got a new tbelt tomorrow and i guess ill throw it in, and i used like half a quart of jbweld on that plug just in case LOL
