It went exactly as described in the steps. The gasket itself was a little bit of a pain to sit in properly but once in, the rest went great thanks to your help. Could not have done it without your great directions and diagrams. Thanks again! These directions with pictures were dead on! It went exactly as described in the steps.

It rotates fairly easily for about 1/4 revolution of the crank shaft then abruptly stops in both directions. What could I have done wrong. All the marks are in the correct spots on the primary belt. I'm stumped and depressed. I thought I was just about finished with this #@$^% job and tried turning the engine a couple of times after I finished installing the chain.

I would love to go to someones house and do this easy fix for $100+ dollars. Well I found much change too as well as those color guard sheets, which seemed to be my problem of plugging. Thanks a million!!!

After a week smelled antifreeze. It took a while to figure out the coolant coming out of the side of the engine block was a weep hole for the water pump. I just bought a Haynes manual and am getting ready to tear into it in the morning. I just found this post and wanted to say thank you for the information you provided. It looks like it will be very helpful. I would also like to add, Who was the genius that came up with the great idea of putting the water pump inside the engine, behind the timing chain....
