| here are some pics from the 120k maintenance i've been doing on my car from a few weeks ago....its nothing too special, its stuff everyone has seen before...after having done this at least 4 times in the past year, it seems really easy...my car has 93k miles, but its been 4.5 years since it was last done here are various parts from 2 services...anyone need parts? 
this is how you dont lose nuts/bolts OR get them mixed up
this is how Ali contributed, he sat on his ass and played with the laptop...and he wasn't even on tt.net! just kidding Ali, he actually helped out a lot
it may not be an engine pull, but i've always wanted a pic of me in the engine bay
and we discovered this on my belt...the belt was replaced about 4.5 years ago and only has about 35k miles on it...but you can see one side being shredded
new belt on
this is a great tool that Mike (Z Pearl) made...it came in handy when torque-ing the sprockets and getting the new belt on...made it very simple
the writeup on this is a masterpiece of course...there is one thing i would add though...when you get your water pump and water pipes back on, you can dump some distilled water in the inlet/outlet tubes to check for leaks...i got a lot of stuff back on and was near completion only to discover the gasket didnt seal properly (my mistake)...and i had to take a lot of the crap back off to fix it...if i had put some water down the tubes right after i put them back on and noticed the leak right away, i could have fixed it without such a headache...maybe some of you already do this, but its not in the write up
i still have a few more things to do on the car, and i will get to them soon...thanks for reading
