My car decided to act funny starting wednesday.. I thought it was just bad gas so I drained it and such...

That wasnt the problem though.. the car went from missing a little on wednesday to knocking at idle on thursday- knocking like you can hear it crunching away...

So then yesterday it just wouldnt start... so I took the timing belt off today and discovered that the crankshaft gear skipped 4 teeth... sending timing way out of the norm. Im going to replace the T-belt because i think it stretched.. and the main gear too because its old and kind smooth on the ended of the teeth..

Well next week I should have together again but well see... I dont think any valves met pistons so it should be ok.. just timing was so off that it wouldnt run right at all.

Just wanted to share my dsm joys. :dsmrule: :bs:
