Well Matt and I successfully changed the timing belt, did not bend any valves or destroy pistons.  There would be a writeup but the job sucks major ass so my writeup consists of pay somebody and save yourself the trouble.  We did get the timing off 180 degrees the first time and fixing it was such a joy.  My fault though cause I remembered the timing mark diagram backwards.  After I double checked we got it right pretty quick.

That is all.

WOOT!!!!

Hmmm this sounds a lot like my water pump write up........

I did like the phone call, ever couple of hours to keep me informed.  The car sounded nice revving at 800!!

It was idling at 800 not revving.  We are going to go drive it around here in a bit and make sure nothing blows up.  ;D

That's what I meant damn it.

we're sure....and we're also sure u meant to blow up ur 420A :D

I didn't blow it up Dick  >:( ;)

its Rick..get it right mister...anyway make sure ur keeping a cost tally...and let us kno how it went.

I might not let him drive home today though.  I am not worried about timing belt things but I drove the car yesterday and the passenger side ball joint is to the point its scary.

Way to kidnap the kid.

So how is he supposed to get back in time for school?

I would drive him.  I have decided to let him go as long as he doesn't do anything stupid.  I can always go pick him up if it breaks down. 
Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Fun times.

He made it home.

And there was much rejoicing.

not really

Shhhhh. we can pretend matt.

Remember, no matter how bad you mess something up, with mechanics, you can always fix it. Even if you have to replace it.

Now stop moping. *wink*

yeah but my dumbfu*k friend whent and stole my car.. and fixed it.. and well how do i put this...RIPPED OUT MY CAR ALARM! then tried to put it back in and now it no longer works..

um.... to that, the only advice i can give is, don't park it where it will get stolen.

Or find new friends.

.....well if he stole the car w/ the alarm...wasnt really helping much was it....either ways get the dumb f star ck friend to pay for a bulldog install..

oh yeah.. when we did the timing we stripped the crank. i was just going to get a new engine. he said to just leave the keys so he could look at it-car automatically locks- so i did... get home and the car is gone.. he tapped it and used a stud and a nut for the 'harmonic balancer'. But he being completely alarm retarded he just cut some wires. he is buying me a new alarm. made me mad because i didn't give him permission to fix it.. i just wanted to wait.. the car has 210k miles on it.. it needs a new engine/rebuild

yeah... you are getting a better alarm
DEI is crap, anyone can bypass them anymore.

Bulldog... eh not so much.
