Yes I've turned many wrenches, mostly on airplanes though. I finally started to work on it. I got the top part of the timing belt oover off and found the belt in one piece but very loose. Maybe it jumped teeth. I'm thinking the tensioner failed. It seems I can twist the belt about 90 degrees. Thats too loose ? Yes ? Anyway, I'll continue to rip into it and check all the alignment marks. I'm still thinking timing belt issues and knowing my luck valves are wasted. I'm just wondering should I roll the dice, throw in a belt and water pump and see what happens ?
Thanks for the input. I'll keep posting as I make progress.
