Well, my first big problem since I owned the car, so guess i'm lucky. Anyhow could hear the thing start to whir loudly and belt started to slip ie burn luckly i was only 4 miles from home and make it just as it really started to bind up, ie it got louder. i'm fairly certain no other damage occured it never completley locked up and car never got hot. This is my self diagnosis but i'm 99% sure i'm right. Anyhow, I plan on dropping the motor and fixing this myself, i'm making a list of other while i'm in there projects, here's my list so far.
The motor is a 2.7 CIS with pressure fed tensioners, rebuilt 14k ago, or so i'm told. I have no paperwork on the motor. List: Start with comp and leak down test just to be sure i'm not doing this for nothing New Alt (duh!) New Alt Belt Possible change to bulkhead six firewall mount from my quick six bar Above will require removal of working ac system however (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Fix all easy DIY oil leaks check clutch adjust valves repaint engine bay that's pretty much what i have so far... This will be a huge undertaking for me, I have done none of the above, and will have a newborn in 2 weeks time so this will likley drag on untill spring. Any advice or items to add?
