is that the position that it supposed to be right?
Lol, he wouldn't give you a pic of the wrong way to install the belt (inout)

I just wanted to make sure..lol because for some reason I thought the big marks were the ones that had to be aligned and didnt realize about the actuall mark.
getting the same thing done to my car right now as we speak, sensor and timing belt replaced plus some coil packs. All start off with some misfire events while driving. So far 2000 bucks will be spent to trouble shoot the random misfires.
Timing belt was due anyways so might as well get that done now, especially when the zoom zoom has 96000 miles on it right now.
$2000????? oh my...timing belt isn't due till 105k...what are they charging you for, i mean you could get a new motor for that money? wow
it's because he lives on an island...lol
That makes sense. Like I said above, there's no way that you should have to worry about your tensioner spring being loose on that pin if the tensioner is working properly - that SOB was really stuck.
Now I hope that this stays fixed permanently. Personally, I would've returned the tensioner and gotten a new one, but I also have a second vehicle to drive, so...
Anyways, glad everything worked out for you.
Hi Forum Members,
Just a follow up on this latest leaking coolant episode:
I jacked it up, lowered it onto a safety jackstand, removed the wheel and splash cover from under the engine, took off the radiator cap and laid back down under the car. Without any further disassembly, I aimed a flashlight at what looked like a dry water pump weep hole (under the pump), and waited about 5 minutes . . . then came the green radiator fluid drop out of the hole. It's not that easy to see the fluid coming out, but it does build up inside the pump, then sort of ooze out and run down the side of the pump.
Here is Rockauto's part number for that piece of garbage:
CARDONE SELECT Part # 5523126 {New; Includes Gasket #PWP897}
Btw, this is supposed to be a new, not remanufactured pump.
I called Rockauto and they would not refund my money, but offered to send me a replacement Cardone pump. I told them no thanks and make sure that they tell their product managers that this pump is substandard and a real time consuming job to replace.
Here's what I'm replacing it with ($60US):
GMB New Water Pump
AdvanceAutoParts.com No. 145-1410
OE # FS01-15-010F
Manufactured to the exceed original equipment specifications. Certified to TS16949, ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards for quality in manufacturing, safety and environmental practices.

Patented unitized ceramic seal for leak-free performance
100% of all the manufactured water pumps are leak tested after assembly
Exact OE fit
Also - the pump belt was definitely not over tightened. I can push it down about 1/2" and turn it 90 degrees with little effort. I only tighten belts enough to make them stop squealing. At least that's how I do it.
So I get to *practice* this whole freaking job one more time.
Happy Saturday!
