redhawks2 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I changed out my caps and rotors by tugging on the lower half of the distributor cap covers to get enough rooom to remove the caps and rotors. Didn't realize I was scarring the timing belt in the process and so guess what?...I now have a new timing belt, water pump etc. because of this stupid, costly mistake. The bottom half of the cover is apparently sharp enough to do some major damage to the belt. So be careful when doing this!! :cries: Other than that, it's a perfect world.
