OT Haunted Week

Well, last week was one in my life I wish I could have back. I mentioned that I changed the timing belt on my Honda CRV. Well, all week long I had a feeling that something was not right. I took another look under the valve cover Sunday evening and noticed that there was about one tooth of the belt difference between the exhaust and the intake cams. So, Monday I took it to a REAL mechanic. It is now fixed RIGHT. The only damage was to my wallet and pride. But a lot less than an overhaul.



Someone had asked if it was a bad job to do in this group. I just thought that I would let them know the outcome of my adventures.



My lesson learn:



Stick to wrenching on my VW. It is alot more forgiving than these Jap micro tolerance Primadonna's!!! LOL

Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Thanks LOL at least someone is reading my posts. Misery loves company!!

....................I read all of your posts Terry. I didn't want to sound like I thought that I was a genius for taking mine to the dealer. But the $300 bill did cause some misery as well..........sigh

:-)

I feel real close to a genius, I did the job myself and paid to have it done too. Top that!!! LOL

Like I said, I will stick to wrenching on my bug. It is much easier to correct errors in my ways.

I will have to say that the last few weeks have been anything but wonderful. Lots of things have went wrong that usually are no brainers. Both at work and at home. I really hate it when life deals these kinds of hands. I will not fold though, just accept my losses and learn from them. Life is still good six feet above ground instead of six below.

I now know more about my bug, honda and myself.

Bugs rule, Honduhs drool!!!! LOL
