Damn CV boots... Spring project

[sleepydsm]

The day I was putting my Talon in storage for winter, gave a friend a ride and *CLUNK*, no power. I KNEW the belt jumped, total lack of power and everything else was OK. I saw the belt was intact, but had tears and punctures along the whole belt (didn't break). I didn't understand why until I pulled the motor (haha thought I'd rebuild it as well)...

I had put all brand new timing belt parts on, and I've done DSM timing belts before with no issues. Well... the god damn driver's side CV boot tore, wore into the lower timing belt cover so much that it exposed the lower right TB cover bolt. It broke that bolt, and the alum. part of the front cover it was bolted too, off and sent it into the belt.

DAMN CV BOOT!!!!!
