On second thought, I'll ask the kid if he's up for replacing your timing belt and shift cable, Irving. I'll find out tomorrow, he's interested in those kinds of side jobs.
Good night fellers.

Thanks. No immediate hurry on this, but as I make bonus money this summer/fall from work, this will develop.
Get a quote, save money do it all at one time. Why double up on some labor charges, trying to save money. You need a timing belt / chain. Replace water pump, thermostat, and other hard to get to items, while in there.Quote:

You guys make me feel like I don't know anything about cars... And relative to some of you chumps (especially Jim, OBC, Z) I really don't.
Sure is a good skill to have though. I need to get under the hood and under the cars more often and start figuring stuff out.
Always have spare parts. A tuesday OOPS can turn in to 2 week OOS replacement. Oil & filter changes, belts, bulbs, basic stuff everyone should know. Pulling an engine to do a starter, it's unnecessary for the layman, to have the tools and expertise for it.Quote:
