Re: Timing belt and water pump = MISERABLE SEVEN HOUR ORDEAL
I didn't see anyone else address it, but oil under the spark plug cover is often just a leaking oil filler cap. Clean up the oil, replace the gasket on the filler cap, see if it happens again.
1. If you got a welder and the plug can be welded then just weld a lever on the plugcn90 wrote:For the serpentine belt tensioner, no need to buy the IPD tool or using coins etc. Here is the $1.00 solution.
2. I used a Dremel to make flat sides on the plug. This wasn't going very well. Maybe I'm too clumsy.
So I ended up drilling a hole through the sides and used a screwdriver. Use at least a 8 mm screwdriver if you don't want to bend it.
