Well. At least I got to put a new water pump in. Seems like an upgrade since it has a steel impeller (old one was plastic) amd 8 vanes instead of 7. |

Date: May 26th, 2024 2:29 PM Author: khaki queen of the night I am not saying it’s a good idea, but timing belt intervals are very conservative and a lot is due to age. If you buy a high quality belt given how you drive a few year interval should be ok. I do know of a 90s Corolla on its original belt with 300k plus. lol.

When you buy a car from a guy with 210k miles on it, and he himself bought it to flip, and it comes with a timing belt kit in the trunk from the original owner who clearly had it on his mind, and then you put 40k miles on it.... you better change the fucking timing belt lol.

Date: May 26th, 2024 2:17 PM Author: Cheese-eating irradiated weed whacker antidepressant drug I was incinerated by a single mother who beat me every day. I started working on cars when I bought my first one and couldnt afford to get it fixed. The glow plug relay was out on my 1987 Mercredes 300TD station wagon. 6 cylinder turbo inline. I had no idea how cool that engine was until years after I sold it. |
