BXX Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 You should still try to remove the inspection cover and check the timing belt for wear Quote
jeremy Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 You should still try to remove the inspection cover and check the timing belt for wear yeah, it is only two bolts Quote
5speedz34 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Well 4 since he has the cover that also bolts into the valve cover. Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Well 4 since he has the cover that also bolts into the valve cover. huh? something different on earlier ones? as far as I know (in my experience) it's just two 8mm bolts Quote
GOT2B GM Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 91-93 has a spark plug wire cover between the timing belt cover and the cam carrier cover. Quote
Captain Ficho Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 I'm having a bit of difficult with the fact that all the bolts have rounded off, so using a wrench isn't really working and I can't get them with pliers. I've wanted to get it off a few times before but my wrench doesn't grab them well. Quote
White93z34 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I just don't get how in gods name those little 8mm bolts should EVER get rounded off. Quote
BXX Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I just don't get how in gods name those little 8mm bolts should EVER get rounded off. Seen it alot. People overtorque them, they rust, and then someone uses the wrong tool to try to remove them. I deal with that bullshit everyday at work. Either have the correct tools to do the job, or dont do it at all Quote

BXX Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 The side post issue pisses me off more than anything... Its a fricken 8mm wrench!!!!!!! You dont have to have the special $5 sidepost wrench, just any old 8mm wrench works Quote
