or "How a 2 hour, $200 job turned into something completely different."
So, I finally get the car in to do the timing belt and tensioner....
As long as we are in there... might as well go ahead and replace the front seals.
Hey look! the crank pulley dampener is shot might as well replace that too...
The upper timing belt cover is cracked an missing a rubber button might as well replace that!
wow, those radiator hoses look pretty bad.... might as well......
and the heater hoses.... as long as we are in there...
spin that water-pump... Ohh that sounds horrid! well as long as we are in there.... You know that nice metal water-pump tube, cranked in half... It must have been ready to break anyway....
replace belts... re-assemble.... PS belt is rubbing new timing cover (by-passed compressor not using a an ipd shim)
remove PS pump and grind to bump out... replace bushing (while we are there)
