Last year everyone made a big deal about the football games. It never Made it hard to get to the Lennox. Same with that walk this year, wasn't hard at all to get off 315 and go to cup o joe. I'll probably be there if that storm isn't here by then.

Sometimes the teeth will come off the belt at the crank. Even if the belt is there, you going to have to remove the whole timing cover and check timing marks. There are a ton of other things you can be checking. But from your original post, it sounds to me like the motor is locked up from timing belt issue. You could pull the plugs, try to turn the motor over by hand, and check other things.

Try to turn the crank by hand. Did you take the whole timing cover off?

I need a cs5 hack

Kia's are horrible with timing belts breaking when owners do not replace a recommended mileage. When he cranks it, does it crank fast? Or does it not crank at all (MEaning valves are jammed into pistons) Sounds like it needs a new motor

Verify.. with stuff inside? Or stripped... LOL. I may have someone interested

Xd9.... Shoot in your backyard? You are in pataskala??

http://reaction.ralfvandenboom.nl/img/Yw5gEl4aeu.jpg I give up... Im telling you from experience.. You have never been in those shoes, so you dont know. Maybe in your line of work, but not this. I have seen it, and been there.

I understand your not a mechanic... Just realize that being ASE certified does not get you a job faster than joe tech with 10 years experience... Shops want HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.. Anyone can go out and take the ASE tests, if they pass. Put it on their resume. It doesnt help at all. Most dealerships want 5 years experience working on cars, and when they ask you certain questions only mechanics with experience would have you know how to answer them. IF I am going to dump HUNDREDS of dollars in ASE tests, I expect a raise from the company who is going to advertise that their mechanics are ASE master techs. I personally did not feel any different as a mechanic after passing ASE tests.

My first triple on CR And the NON- mechanics are the ones who are justifying it... The other mechanics know real world experience.. In your case, im glad you got a raise and your company takes care of you. In my new job, I dont need to be ASE certified in anything, they send me to school to learn the Sweepsters, and Oshkosh equiptment.

Not all companies give a raise for being ASE certified. In cordell's case.. Its worth it as he got a raise. But in my case, no its not.

You would THINK that the more ASE Certs a person has, the more they would make or the more the company would appreciate them. In the automotive world thats not the case (In my 4 shops, 8 years experience). I was suppose to be reimbursed for my tests and never was. The last 2 I took were over $100. When I realized that being certified gains me NOTHING except a piece of paper, I told myself I would not be renewing my certs. Certs are not very hard at all. They sometimes have trick questions, but the reason most people stopped taking them, is its not worth it. (Unless your company gives you a raise like cordell's) I still think that any ASE tech should make a significant more amount a money over a mechanic that is not certified. In Cordells case he did get a raise. In my past shops ASE techs do not get a raise. And everyone that I have worked with (even the older guys) gave up on ASE and let them expire. At toyota you did not have to be ASE certified, you had to be Toyota certified to do recalls / warranty jobs.

Explain how you think being Ase certified increases your value as a tech?

Congrats. Those questions can be tricky. Although I've learned that all Ase certified gets me is a patch to put on a coat and certificate. And the dealership world paid you for your birthday. Not worth the price of the Ase tests themselves. (Toyota said they would reimburse. Never did)

That's where I got my trombone back in 2000

Nvm.....

I haven't had any issues with WOW. Works great.

Try a large stud remover. Or a strip socket.

Does it eat McChickens? It looks like a McSnake...

That made me drive to McDonald's and buy 2 McChickens.

U did. A nice strait road to cruise on too.

Then u say "ok, hop in the car. We are going to cars and coffee."

I got there around 8:30, there were only 3 other cars there. I had to leave around 10 to get some stuff done.. Most of the cars rolled in around 9.

Its just a badge..... :gabe:
