today was great... went to my buddy's house in merillville and changed my t-belt, water pump, t-stat, a tensioner, and my spark plugs
woot!
we broke a bolt and half of it was in the block. luckily a tiny little piece was sticking out and we managed to grab it and unscrew it out. *whew* found a replacement bolt at the hardware store and we continued
all is well now, i flushed all my coolant and s**t too (duh, kinda have to lol) and found no leaks in my cam seals and crank seals. hell, the old belt looked to be in pretty decent condition too. no fraying at all and some of the printed text could even still be seen! at 104k miles!!! SUGOI!!!
