Hi All,

I was able to install the timing belt, waterpump, woodruff key and
oil seals in about 10 hours by myself.  That 10 hours included the time
find a replacement bolt for the one that snapped on the thermostat
housing.  It was pretty nerve racking  trying to remove the crankshaft oil
seal. The oil seals definitely needed replacing. They were leaking so
much oil on the timing belt cover seal that they need replacing because
they are too swollen to work properly.

I can't believe how much better to runs now!

I also just order set of the Magnecor 8.5 wires and NGK extended reach
plugs. I hope it will help the performance a little.

Thanks for the tip on changing the timing belt!!!
