Just finished first timing belt replacement, complete with new tensioner, seals, and drive belts. It was a long day with several set backs (ie. breaking the lower timing belt cover into three pieces) but in the end success was had. Will adjust timing tomorrow and hope for the new found hesitation to be cured. Many thanks too you fine folk who helped make this all possible. Rope trick proved most sucessful for crank pully bolt removal.

A tip that seems good to pass on to someone who might care - cover the engine side of the radiator with cardboard to prevent damaging the fins. I thought of doing this at the begining of the project, but decided to be careful instead. After I hit the radiator fins twice with a wrench I put some cardboard there. Funny that...

Happy bricking all.
