Well today I started to tear down my engine. I thought things were going to go smoothly. While taking everything apart I found many things that just weren't done right. Many hoses that were cut but still had clamps over them, or hoses with no clamps at all.
When taking the timing belt off I noticed that my timing is way off. So, I'm freaking out over that because I'm hoping the heads are ok. When I was removing the timing belt tensioner I noticed that the bolt wasn't bolted down tight. Then when removing it I saw that the bracket hole itself was stripped. I was thinking helicoil but I might just buy it new, not sure yet. The back portion of the timing cover nuts came out, so I'll be buying a new or used driver side piece.
Then when I removed the intake manifold, I noticed that the crank case vent hose was pinched shut. Which explains a lot, because when I removed the intake manifold it had pressure and hissed. I'll have to source a few hoses and I'm going to make sure everything fits as it should and isn't pinching.
Here's how she's sitting. I'll finish her up tomorrow. Excuse the mess lol.
