I wanted to do some welding today, but the weather is not cooperating. I'll see if I can't get further on this project to I can get all the hoses and radiator back into the engine compartment.
I decided to replace the timing belt. It has been replaced in the past few years, but since it was sitting in one place for so long and had a large pile of nuts jammed into it (courtesy of some squirrels, chipmunks and mice) I decided it was best to replace it. In order to replace it I have to pop off the tensioner, water pump pulley and possibly the crankshaft pulley. We'll see about that. The first thing I removed was the water pump pulley. I did this over a week ago. Yesterday I found some time to media blast it, prime it and topcoat it. You won't be able to see this pulley in my engine bay, but it will help it last another 30 years. Looks nice, right? I wanted to do some welding today, but the weather is not cooperating. I'll see if I can't get further on this project to I can get all the hoses and radiator back into the engine compartment.
