[V8] Timing Belt Project

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Well, after threatening to get around to it, I'm finally doing the  
timing belt  on the Lago car that's been sitting for almost 4 yrs  
now.  It's still got 107K(nice thing about it sitting is it keeps the  
mileage down)......Anyway, after checking in with Ron(thanks), I went  
at it, and was amazed at the thought/engineering that went into that  
front support system.  It's like they built the car on the premise  
that the motor would be removed regularly.  Oil cooler lines/AC lines  
are just long enough to clear, and lay the whole front down right at  
your feet.  Found 1 torn right front motor mound/noisy Viscous fan  
bearing/weepage from waterpump/weepage from main seal, and corrosion  
on the main harness connector for the headlights.  This was all done 
(minus the Viscous bearing) @ the dealer in Denver @ 52K, but back in  
2002, and just prior to me getting the car.  I'm hoping to get the  
belt/everything in tomorrow, as I need to return some of the tools I  
borrowed, but need to wait to test drive it, as Spokane House of Hose  
has some of the Hydraulic hoses (my parts car isn't a parts car quite  
yet), and will hopefully be leakfree once again....Adios, Tom
