[V8] Stick a fork in the V8 I am done ;-)

Sun Aug 3 16:08:41 PDT 2008

Sorry for the double post...but I think I forgot to CC Greg as well as you Lanier.
 But I'd check the carbon canister valve.

 Greg, what gasket kit did you order? & as far as the ps "x" plug o-ring.... you can get a rebuild kit from any of the vendors...Bruce, Chris @ force5, ect. Prolly run you no more than $10 for the seal kit.
 As far as your t-belt. The last time it was replaced was 40K ago? Or you feel the need to replace it every 40k?
 & just cause the belt shows no signs of cracking doesn't mean anything. What is the condition of the belt....does it look glazed over/shinny on the smooth part of the belt? How's the tension of the belt?
 If you have any doubt @ all it should be replaced. I can show you some pics of what a busted t-belt does to a V8 motor ;-)
 & when you do, do the belt I recomend doing the germanautoconnection 60k service
http://germanautoconnection.com/new_parts4sale.htm bout 3/4 the way down the page.
