recent works
hey guys, been a while, look it's a new year!!! haha, well, so far i've given the timing belt a good looking at, no cracks, looks brand new actually. The only thing i'm worried about is the deflection of the timing belt. Is there a simple no b.s. mechanical way to test the deflection and see if there is too much?? Because i can't seem to find anything like that anywhere. It's all "this should be done by a local dealer". Well it's kinda hard to get it to a dealer when it doesn't freaking run. However, i'm currently trying to figure out how to turn the engine counter clockwise. Clarks garage said to pour oil down the tube running from the filter to the block, and then spin the crankshaft backwards to prime the oil pump. I thought this a possibility in the oil pressure problem seeing as this was a once a month pleasure car for many, many years (the previous owner used to drive it back and forth from here in Maryland to Tennesse every once in a while). So back to the point, whats the easiest way to turn the crankshaft, from the looks of it, it's going to require something like a 4 inch long socket (my car has the power steering option, i don't know why, but it does, haha) that i don't have. Is that the only option or is there something easier to do?
Alrighty then guys, thanks a bunch, i'll be back.
