As of 9PM last night the Montero is up and running again <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The timing belt was not too bad. It was a little harder than my Montero Sport but not nearly as difficult as an Evo. I have the spanner wrench for the tensioner pulley and in my opinion that makes everything much easier. I ended up setting the crank gear off one tooth so I could pull the slack out of the belt with the tensioner pulley and the spanner wrench. I rotated the engine around a few times by hand and I could pull out the pin and put it back in :-) . Perfect

I have no leaks and I can't detect any burning oil right now. So, if everything goes as plan I will be able to rip into this again in 6 months if needed.

Thanks for all the info and opinions. I appreciate it. Tomorrow, when the tire stores open I will be tossing on some 33's .

Found a rear locker problem but I will go into that later.
