I advised this customer 6 months ago...do your timing belt...recently, it broke. Now, I'm doing a complete engine. Honda VTEC.... Something or nothing. If you find a good "honest" mechanic...listen to what he says.
I'm the communications coordinator for a youth basketball club (volunteer). Responsible for a digital newsletter and hard copy posters , yearbooks. I am presently on a tight budget using a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / 350D with Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II Lens. I am thinking of an upgrade to a CANON REBEL T2I W/18-55 EF-S IS and same lens as the 350D. Is it worth the upgrade or do I ave to jump up alot to make it worth my while?
A buddy did the valves on his R6 and got this part right, but he had the wrong cylinder at TDC. He got to do the valves again... I can't remember how he managed that, but manage it he did. Or he was lying because he completely forgot about the crankshaft. . .

Even harder on motorcycles...everything is so small.
VTEC Honda's are quite sweet to work on actually...
I'll share a handy tip with you... Mark everything, before teardown...then do the job, after it's all back-together... check your work like this.....to see...If it's right...Before start-up. :cryin:
For example ... w/ #1 @ T.D.C. A four cylinder - rotate the crankshaft four complete turns.. if everything ( cams, balance shafts, crank) "line-up" to the reference marks....You nailed it. A v-6 ( 6 turns) A v-8 (8 turns) ect...
Finding correct cyl ( # 1) T.D.C. is everything...:mad2:
BMW has raised the bar so high, everyone is re-grouping & wondering what to do...

Been trying to do my own grooming on my dog, Sadie, for almost 3 years but the tangles and mats keep coming back so finally bit the bullet and took her to a groomer today. Was afraid it would cost a fortune but only $25 and about 40 minutes. I think it was well worth it.
Here are some before and after shots.
