    We tore our belts apart, we got a hole in the time belt cover and a broken gasket Gotta find ourselves a cover and pull the pullys off, which is getting to be pretty rough with all the caked oil and dirt from the races.

    I drove mine................................

    Both yours & Jims look great!! Drove mine today also. The Escort MC is statrin' to leak. Must be all the pressure in the system since replacing all 4 pads & shoes?

    I believe the timing belt broke on our b3, (left side of the engine, oil leak and alternator light turned on). So all I did was look at it and read my haynes manual for a solution.

    Probably not the timing belt, but the alternator belt.

    Part of my A/C broke, and I don't even have A/C.

    The A/C tensioner adjusting bolt fell off and got stuck next to the crank pulley. Made quite a noise. I though something was seriously wrong.

    Worked on the Festy in the rain.

    Tropical storm Issac, is dumping what is left of it, on the midwestern area of missouri and illinois right now.

    This was the weekend to get it all done, and DANG it, its gonna happen!

    Watching the radar and I get breaks in the rain now and then, so I run out when I can, to finish the install of the elec. fuel pump, and all new fuel lines.

    Just the elec hook up to the positive is left, but it statred pouring again, so I had to run and hide til the next break.
