CSI_MuNkY Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 OK... I'm confused... Today my car was supposed to be done around 6pm (it wasn't) Because I had to work I got q-ball to stop by the shop and see how my car was doing. He told me that the car (which is in to have the head gaskets swapped on my 3.4L DOHC) was on jacks with the hood up and the front wheels off it. Not sure if he saw both wheels off, as he only left a msg on my voicemail and has now gone to bed (panzy)... If its only the passenger side wheel off I could see them needing to do this to get a better handle on the timing belt... Anyone else have ANY idea why the wheels would be off? one or both... Thanx Jamie Quote
Mach 5 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Im guessing that the engine was pulled. Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Posted August 19, 2006 Yeah it was just the passener side wheel so they could have better access to the belts. I stopped by the shop today and watched them set up the timing, when I left he had the rest of the engine left to assemble, I SHOULD be able to pick it up tomorrow bright and early, but I've said that a few times this week...

joey b Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 because removing the coolant overflow is so difficult? Seems like overkill to get to the belt. Oh well. Quote
Nick1234 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Its not as easy as just removinig the coolant overflow. getting the crank pulley off and putting it back on you need to have the wheel off. Quote
joey b Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 didn't know the crank pulley would have to be removed. Is that really necessary? Quote
Singh Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 o god this sounds like fun, is this what im gonan have to go thru with my belt change? Quote
