Re: Need Help...Please..asap

what was the compression? the dipstick popped up when you first started it? get some NGK plugs. Your belts start to slip when you get oil on them. I've had oil on my belts before, and have cleaned them off by wiping them down. Hell, when a customer's car squeeks, I spray some jb80 or wd40 on the pullies and belt to see what and where the noise is coming from. Oil won't hurt them. cracks will. dried out belts will get cracks. You also don't need a new alternator if the above oil issue is what's wrong. The alternator won't control anything that pertains to your above-mentioned issue. is the valve cover gasket leaky? headgasket leaking? how's your coolant temps, and level in the resevoir tank? color? I would figure out what the issue is, before you start throwing parts at it. A new alternator and gaskets may give you piece of mind, but they may also not fix the issue. Figure out what it is first.
