10.5.2026

Jim was back to working on the block today - he put on the pulleys for the timing belt...


This is another one of those weird tools that sure come in handy every once in a while - Jim can use it to turn the pulley to get it lined up.


It's crucial that the cam shaft and timing belt are perfectly lined up - there are tiny dots and markings that have to match.

The timing belt is all on - it winds around all the idler pulleys and the cam shaft and crank shaft gears...


Starting to put housing pieces on...


The intake manifold is on...


Fan mount attached...


This is how I'm sure Jim feels talking to me about this job.  I try and listen closely when he explains things, but by the time I walk up the stairs and later look at the pictures, I forget it all.
