Though, that work on the side sounds tempting...I saw your thread on the 332iT. It looks like you do some quality work! I have plenty of pizza, beer, and even a few pesos.

I'm in on the latter, also. Group buy?

I'm about to tackle a belt replacement job as mine are all cracked up from age.

You folks think it is worth while to replace the tensioners while I have everything open? Or no real need? 2005 54K (yeah for real) miles
