okay thanks for talking me back into it. Ive been planning on doing this for a while since i got the car, I think i may do the water pump this time along with the belts, next time i'll do the rollers ect. but like you guys said, its right at that time, so im gonna do it. not sure where the 5 years came from, but now i know, 3 years so its time...

im very apprehensive to do this on my own, but know the importance of learning this procedure. theres tons of good stuff at clarks. There is a pelican member here thats going to give me a hand which im thankfull for. cause without him i dont know if id have the nads to do this on my own. plus if we kill my car it will haunt his driveway/heated garage!

sounds like everyones pretty happy with the conti. so i guess either way, both good companies just will come down to which one i feel like getting. i think i may just get all the parts from pelican then just get the gates belt at napa.

the parts list i worked up here on pelican for belts, pump seals and a rebuilt pump is looking around 250, which isnt that bad.

ive been reading some stuff about guys 'turning the engine' by hand after taking adjustments, either, twice then measure, then four times and measure, some guys turn it back a tooth and a half, do you need to do that with an 88na w/ spring tensioner? im getting mixed reads on that. i may have been reading about an S that confused me.
