Lots of dirt, everywhere !!! I got most of the front of the motor taken apart. Ok, where to begin, under the valve covers looked pretty good. The timing belt tensioner wheel spins freely, with the timing belt in.... bad, right ? There should be a slack and tension side, correct ? My water pump was weird, there is alot of jelly like stuff in it, but not much corrosion anywhere. There was very very little water in the radiator which worries me, this car could have run low on coolant, which there actually wasnt any coolant in it, it was water, what was left of it. Dirt though, DAMN !! Lots, everywhere. So if anyone can diagnose my tensioner and water pump, that would be great. thanks guys !! So I cleaned out my throttle body, it was filthy and the insides of the itake are next. I still havent been able to get in and see if the timing mark is off on my crank.
