Ya, had the car on the road for a bit and had an odd noise that was progressively getting worse around the timing belt cover, I didn't think too much of it because it only happened at 1500rpms. Well the belt jumped 180* out, nothing is damaged but the tensioner needs to be replaced. The fun part will be doing this with the engine in. If anyone has any pointers or advise that would be awesome. Other then that she is running great, spent some time in Bristol, RI then came home (that was about the time it started to go). Also I do have a new one so ya that is what I will be doing today. SO if all goes well and I can get this done, will be back in Bristol by tomorrow.

PS: if anyone wants to meet up with me on my way down or would like to help out, my cell is 603-706-0026.

Peace
Mike
