Re: Help!!! Removing pulleys.

well i just looked on mine. you cant fit a socket in there but you can get a 14mm wrench in there but you wont be able to torque it down and im not even sure if you can slip the timing belt out between the pulley and the tensioner pulley. id find a way to get those bolts off

Re: Help!!! Removing pulleys.

ive never tried it, hmmm im pretty sure you do because the tensioner and idler pulleys bolt through the water pump and that pulley is pretty wide. take off the timing belt covers and look. it might be really tight but u might be able to squirm around it. ill check real quick and see

Re: 4 cylinder swap>V6

its not recommended because you basically need a donor v6 model mx3 to do it, and if you already have that might as well swap a klze into it. i mean it can be done just if you want to be different or have the money then go ahead. anything can be done just gotta spend the cash. i mean if you can make...

Re: Vaccum leak or what, Help an Mxer out,

well u can use soapy water and spray on the lines and see if it sucks it in or starts bubbling. you can use a spray bottle or if your really crazy carb cleaner and see when the engine surges. most likely its a vacuum leak but check your brake hose going to your booster. good luck finding it
