MrMerlin, I work as an IT but have been working on cars since 1978 as a hobbie . Took a auto mechanic work shop at the University of Minnesota. Actually during the 25 years and 180k miles my 928 car went trough 2 timing belts one @ 100k and second @ 159k in my previous post I wrote 3 timing belts by mistake so I saved 3 timing belts jobs. I live in San Diego and the average temp is 75 so that could effect belt life. I'm not saying every one should follow my advice but the money I saved is enough to fix bend valves and rebuilding my engine.

Ever work at Morton-Thiokol?

NIACAL4NIA

No I've never worked for Morton-Thiokol but I don't have to be a rocket scientist to read my own service history regarding timing belt dates on my own car which is 2 timing belts and 2 water pumps and a couple of rollers in 25 years and 180k. Timing belts don't make me paranoid but cancer does. LOL

Landseer

You just got a D in mechanics. Stick with IT.

Thanks Jim and AO!! I have heard these Kempf tools mentioned several times, but don't have one. Do I need one to do a timing belt job, and/or for the annual check to test the tension on the TB?? I also believe that I need a tool to lock the flywheel to replace the TB...is that correct??

Thanks again.

James Bailey

Yes you need to check tension and to get the crank bolt out you need to secure the flywheel.

And you just got a D in Symbolic Logic 101, I never said I was a mechanic just informing you guys about my timing belt intervals.

How's the electric shaver sharpening business going?

Hi SeanR Made tons of money . You must be good at Googling stuff. I used to do that on members and some times trace their IP address.

I love guys that take chances with Timing Belts, good for my bottom line.

Mine is coming up on 30,000 miles, and a little over 2.5 years, and it will be getting a new belt that comes in a Porsche box.

As far as OEM water pumps, I had a new one fail and get into my block in less than 3,000 miles, but it did not bend valves, so I got really lucky, other have not been so lucky.

I may try one of Ed's WP, but what ever goes on the car, it WILL have a plastic impeller.

Where in San Diego are you?

I try to check out the new members that come across as trolls. You'd be amazed at how many people we've had here, that have been banned an other forums for being complete dip****s. Hell, one of them is still allowed to post here but we let him for entertainment value.

You are not in that category, you've just been stating an opinion, one that is pretty wrong, but an opinion anyway.

I just did a search on myself, lawls, one thing in 18 on the google pages and that was a birthday thread from here. I must not be doing it right.

Sean,
Did you have the kiddie filters on when you searched? Try with them off, probably find a whole lot more about yourself.
