Well, I say you've managed to produce sufficient amount of solid evidence, far beyond reasonable doubt. Very nice photos

Hope everything is going well

The WP was the source of noise, the bearing was shot making it difficult to spin. The tensioner/idler were both fine but I've replaced since I'm in there anyway. FCP had a decent deal on the factory timing belt kit and there shipping is always quick.

Glad you sorted that one out.
And now that you've already paid, it's time to play

Still not time to play I installed everything, the timing marks all match on cam sprockets and crank shaft but I got miss, I believe it's the tensioner. It was way too loose but the I'm getting misinformation about where to set it. The book said 7 o'clock but that seems too tight. I didn't want to go any further since it gets dark around 4-4:30 these days..

Finally got tensioner process right but crankshaft moved out of alignment, I should have learned by now to stop working in the dark!!

Do you means pictures?
No pics, my android doesn't have a flash anyway.
Tensioner was off and the crankshaft alignment moved/skipped, resetting crankshaft alignment.

Here's pics, as u can see all marks look good, crank mark hard to see but the rib behind CS pulley is pointing at marker, it sits between the two teeth

Do you means pictures?...

No, what I meant was picks that you use to pick the locks when you work in the dark

Nice pictures though, I bet she'll be purring like a kitten now

I don't get the picks thing unless u mean like 60 seconds and gone.

As far as the timing marks if there in the right place it should purr like a kitten but there's a multiple miss.

Any codes?
