    You guys all worried about Ray leaving the blue towels in the intake. It's brilliant . When he starts the car the towels will be sucked into the cylinders . They'll get moved around in there awhile thus cleaning the bores, plugs, pistons and valves. They'll then blow out the exhaust and clean the converter and muffler which will extend their lives . I would have added a little brake cleaner to really shine things up .

    Speaking of leaving towels inside intake ports...
    I've quit using towels to block ports. Took me some time to accept the fact that they don't protect quite as well as one might think. Debris gets trapped into the folds and creases, and attempts to blow it out only blows it deeper into the towels. So when you remove the towels, that trapped stuff shakes out and down into the engine without you noticing.
    Instead, I now use masking tape. Nice flat cover, nowhere for crap to hide from the air gun. Clean confident removal.

Ray knows this, and handles it *expertly*. Everyone commenting about the towels thinks they're helping Ray out, and in fact they are, but probably not quite how they think. It's a marvel to behold.

      But as a fan of hydropneumatic Citroëns, I have to say the French take the cake in being annoying. While they actually use Newton-meters in their technical documentation, they state all numbers in "deca-Newton-meters", and then reverse the notation to "deca-meter-Newtons". "damN".

    Ray, consider marking the backing panel that was in the way with paint as well on the reference marks aligned with the cam gear spline. When the entire top of the gear spline is painted, along with the original belt And engine body or backing panel, you will have a precise, 3 point reference for each gear/pulley to belt and engine body relationship, eliminating any potential placement position error when reassembling. In the future, maybe an old thick blanket placed on windshield will help prevent potential windshield damage in case fastener slippage occurs when the socket accidentally rolls off the cam gear bolt. Also consider the tremendous amount of Static friction that must be overcome to loosen super tight fasteners such as the cam pulley/gear bolts. Usually 4 to 5 times the torque spec value for tightening a bolt must be exerted to loosen it. In theory, the cam bolt required 360-450 ft/lbs of torque to pop loose. This affixed characteristic is known as Static friction and is much greater than the Kinetic friction required when tightening the bolt to specs. That is why a spark is produced when you observe a slow-motion video of a very tight lug nut that is loosened on a large truck tire with a 6 ft. cheater bar, for example. I believe FBM made such a video that displays this phenomena. I realize every bit of revenue stream is vital to your success at this time, when possible, consider passing on hybrids and beamers, these types of vehicles eat into your profit margin with unforeseen, required procedures; and sometimes, you end up working on difficult situations for little to nothing. Good Luck, Ray!

    So I did a bunch of timing belts on V-6 Toyota/Lexus vehicles back in the day, and after the first half dozen I found an excellent tool that allows removal of the water pump without removing the inner timing belt shield. It's called a 'plasma cutter' and it gets that bottom 1/4 inch of tin out of the way in short order. My boss was nervous the first time, but once he saw how much time was saved and there wasn't any collateral damage, and neither of us could justify that area being of any importance he gave the green light for all future use of that procedure.

They just smoldered. He ultimately pulled the head to remove the rags. He finished the job in the wee hours of the next morning so the customer would have their car. 30 years later he is still known as "Rags".

      In answer to the breaking clips, they are probably abs plastic, this degrades and embrittles in the presence of uv light. The rear clips are protected by the intake manifold and so don’t suffer as much as the front. In areas with strong sunlight the effect is more noticeable, this is why it’s not such a problem in northern Scotland where I live, but is the case in Florida.

      Those zip ties are a bit iffy in my opinion, but I'm not there and have never tested it so I can't say for sure if it works or not. But there looks like at least one of the connectors has been replaced. The connector at the rear right (left in the video) is another color than the rest. So I don't think it's totally unthinkable that a clip has broken off before. Or are the five black ones replacements? I certainly don't know.
