My Sharks back on the road.
Well after much labor I am happy to report my shark is zooming again. I ended up replacing the water pump, timing belt, rollers, seals, and rebuilding the belt tensioner. I also removed the valve covers form the 86.5 and let me tell you this ended up being much harder than the timing belt work on this car. I was amazed at how horrible getting those valve covers off to powder coat them was. I have done a couple S4s and my S was much harder. It didnt help that everything we touched was brittle and broke so we ended up replacing all the vacuum lines and breather lines. I think its a job well done no leaks and I have been running the crap out of it all weekend and it runs like new. My next project is to polish the factory wheels then I am done for a little while.
