ruh roh.. injectors landed today- it's 'sposed to be i the 60's new years eve... So- guess whats going to happen before the beer starts flowing that there day?
anyhow- I also learned a lesson today I'll share no matter how it pains me: Once a serpentine belt has been used for some time, there becomes a 'right' way to put it on, and a 'wrong'.. I took it off, obviously, when I did the install.. Putting it back on it chirps.. I figured it got wet from spilling coolant as I was topping off the rad.. Nope, its chirped since, and is driving me nuts..
a little spray of water tells me its a belt and not a pulley binding, but dang..
I buy a new belt that was too long, trade it for another that is too short.. dang it.. THEN- after the third time off, I look closely at it and can tell which direction it has spun for most of it's 150k life- and put it back on that way... no noise at all.. whoops... live and learn.. I still need a new belt though..
I was avoiding a video because of this.. I didn't want 'yall to hear that dang belt.. I'm out of excuses now, and will try to get one soon and post it up..
