Looking good, little tip for future reference.. aluminum foil works great for masking off odd shaped things for painting, such as all the parts in the bay you don't want painted.

Yes! Used foil many times. As for my bay, a little paint on some wires wont hurt. I have most wires bungee'd up out of the way, the rest...who cares! :p
I made sure not to coat any connectorsDan

Done painting stuff mostly, started assembling stuff on the engine.
Had a hard time getting the timing cam pulley off. Had to borrow an impact to break the bolt loose, then couldnt find my 14mm impact socket, so made a trip to buy one, and then found my 14mm as soon as I got back home.
Now the timing crank pulley dont wanna come off. Tried 2 pry bars, but felt as if I was about to break it, so I stopped.
I did manage to put the new water pump on.
Oh well, tommorow's another day. (to invent new 4 letter words) :pDan

Okay what am I doing wrong here?
By drddan at 2012-05-25
I cannot get this B6 crank timing pulley off. I have another, so I wasnt too worried about this, but what a pita.
I know this came off the B3 very easily, when I changed seals last year.
This one aint a movin'
Haynes said use 2 pry bars. I did. (see pic)Last edited by drddan; 05-25-2012, 10:28 PM.Dan

Moving on.
Cam and crank seals installed, new water pump installed, and broken timing crank sprocket replaced. After I eat dinner, the timing belt will go on, too.
