Searching for someone with a Kricket or 9201 in the Bay Area (preferably SF or the Peninsula) that I could borrow for a day or two. I thought I would be able to just go to Napa to get one but they don't carry them in stock. Please PM me! Thanks!

A kricket is a belt tensioning tool that napa sells. You push on it till it clicks and it tells you the tension on the belt. Its about $10 at Napa. They work just fine for tensioning the timimg belt on the early cars.

Everyone needs a kricket (unless you take your car to a shop, or have the p9201 or p920x). Even if you have the spring tensioner or the 968's awesome hydraulic timing belt tensioner, you still need to use the kricket to tension the balance shaft belt.
