Timing

[Grant Lenahan]

down on power, wont rev, pistons hitting valves (i guess it didnt jump THAT far).....

the danger of not performing the H20 pump services is the obvious:

1. its easy now and will be hard later
2. a seizing water pump is probably the #1 reason timing belts break - taking your valves with you ( if you have an interference engine - i'm actually not sure)
