Timing Belt Done!!
Took me I am guessing maybe 5 hrs start to finish maybe a little more and all by myself....while it was snowing, in the dark for the first half and in the rain today for the second half,
Anyhow I have to run. Thanks for all the help guys.

Bravo. Glad to see a speedy recovery / rebound! Ya know!! I have owned more than a sportage and therefore been to other forums than the wire.. This forum makes it a hassle to located desired information.. You have to dig for it. I've seen Forums where they catagorize the articles. For example: engine, trans, 4WD, mods, tuning and performance, cosmetic, electrical, for sale, wanted, view all.. and then in each sub catagory there's stickies to common questions pertaining to it.. like for instance under 'engine' you'd have a timing belt walkthrough, and spark plug walkthough, like we do have, yes i know. but this forum is a little sloppy I don't blame damkia. I think it is simply forum's platform that isn't designed for our traffic flow and demand anymore. We need an upgrade and/or overhaul to this site.
Edit: I just went back through the pictures and saw you have the electric fan conversion.. [sarcasm] that must have sucked to not have to remove the OE fan huh?[/sarcasm] lol

Note the new sticky too.....

Right On...That's Great.

Can we adjust our timing?
And how do I hook up a gun?
Hook up to #1 plug wire, so take everything off just to do timing?
There's got to be an easier way...well doesn't have to be I guess.
Any help would be great here.

Didn't want to clutter up the new sticky for this. after I get all info about this I think I am going to do a write up for the new sticky.
I'll do that when I go back in to do the water pump and stuff in there.
I know..I know...should have done it then, well I couldn't.
So I will take this opportunity to take pictures next time I go in. After all, explaining things with a picture helps out so much.

This is what the new sticky is for - to collate ALL the information about a particular subject into one post...
