Actually, you HAVE to do it slow. If you go too fast, you'll rupture a seal.

What city are you in, Joel?

I've used a car and jack before... Not the best way but it gets the job done.

In Linwood by wyoming.

Timing belt is installed. only thing I am worried about is the tension. Should be good I am always over worried.

Did you do the drill bit check to see if the tension is right?

[99gsxjoel]

I did using allen wrenches.

Everything is all assembled and ready to go back into the engine bay. Going to try and get most of it done tomorrow. And have it running and driving sometime this weekend.
