Just thought I'd try and spread a little CAR-ma around.

Did the 20v timing belt, water pump, idler pulley, crank seal, v-belt
replacement yesterday on my 133k mile sedan yesterday.

I have to say, Nick Bean, a fellow 20v lister, is the greatest. He let me
use his driveway, tools, and LOTS AND LOTS of his time and expertise to
get the job done. My first tbelt and it was a little scary knowing that
the life of the car rested in my hands. Thus, at the point of no return,
Nick stepped in and showed me how to just grow a pair and do it.

All turned out great. So, if anyone wants to wish Nick good CAR-ma, please
do. He deserves it.

BTW - the old belt, supposedly about 50k old, was on it's laaaaast legs.
      Whew.
