Im sure some of you saw my pics of my car on the side of the road. I decided to post up my findings after working on the car.
Im putting in a replacement NV-T350 with a new clutch, polishing up the engine bay, changing timing belt/components. Im also installing an Underdrive Pulley, but theres a problem with that... I ordered it (AF/X UDP) from Howell Automotive.. If any of you have dealt with them before..Im sorry. So whenever that gets here...it will go on.
On to pics...slow start.
After about 10 hours of working on it, I found out what actually happened. My timing belt didnt break, but it does have holes in it. I got the motor out, popped open the t-belt cover, and a bunch of BBs from a ball bearing fell out. Both the idler and tensioner pulleys failed. One got so hot it rainbowed. Thats what the noise coming from my belts was. Should have done something about it.
Ha, the last pic is me standing in the engine bay looking for bolts.

Pulley failed, eh?
Sucks.

I've had that happen before, not fun but at least you shouldn't need to replace the head.
remember kids, ALWAYS replace your tensioner and idler pulleys when you do the timing belt, and do the timing belt on time.

Yeah Ive had a LOT of naysayers say "Oh yeah man your head is definately trash". I was like well dont jump to that conclusion, the tensioner failed but kept the belt on the pulley, and I didnt hear any mechanical damage, so Im going to keep a positive attitude about it until I pull the head.
While the motor is out Im going to be taking parts off, such as the coolant tubes that go the the heater hoses, the lift eye, probably some suspension parts, and Im going to take them to work and sandblast them. Then I have a buddy who does powder coating and have them coated black.
Anyone have any recommendations of where to get a t-belt or a belt kit? Summit has a goodyear belt for $39, and the pulley kit from autozone is like $60.

I have not checked prices in a while, but Partsdianasur.com has some good prices for the 2gnt brethren. Check him out. He did not have the goodyear belts before and that's what I run too. but check him for the tensioner and pulleys...
I edited to the wiki!

I got a timing set from O'Rielly's when mine went out (Same sort of thing, belt started squaking like a MF, found a ball bearing lodged between my cam gear and timing cover, downed it right then). It's workin fine so far, I did get a different belt, didn't skimp there.

Worked on the car for just a few hours today. I basically got the head ready to be pulled off. The last picture is the crank pulley puller I had to rent from autozone. I told the guy I needed a 3 jaw puller and he was like "Its either for a Chrysler or a Mitsubishi isnt it?" I was like "Umm...both". And he actually knew what I was talking about. More to come probably tomarrow.

Thanks man. Yeah I really dont want to waste half the summer working on it, so Im trying to haul ass. Today I started pulling the motor/trans out of a 95 Talon ESi. The tranny from that is going in my car. One day at a time I guess...
