Message	It'd just suck to take the timing belt off since it's practically brand new. Plus if I took the timing belt off, I'd want to replace valve stem seals too. At this point, rod bearings seem less invasive but beneficial enough to justify their replacement. Hoping to get on the road ASAP - since oil pan is coming off anyways I figured "why not replace the rod bearings". Good suggestion though. ________________Sig Separator________________________ Parting out my entire 1990 twin turbo! Please email me for needed parts! See profile for my WTB/WTT list as well.
