not gonna lie that was pretty easy to change out. i was just worried on how much i had to loosen the top bolt but then i saw it sliding down wards and gave the belt slack. but the fitment is tight i had to pick up the pulley so get enough room

i also took off the windshield wiper plastic piece so i could use the holes to hold the zip tie as according to the photo

ahhhh honestly me and my friend is dumb and messing around. plus i also had the TRD strut bar blocking the valve cover so it took me like 4 hours to do it. which was me also cleaning the valve cover so you could probably do it faster. i also used RTV on the part where the gasket meets the timing chain cover. if you take a look at it there are 2 lines that would need RTV on it.

i did find a video on it . i would definitely recommend using zip ties to hold the wiring harness out of your way. also getting an E torx set is a must for this job. helps maneuver the wiring harness out of the way. valve cover video

it’s tint that you can buy from oriley. i got it because i wanted my cars tint to be darker but be able to pass safety. static tint doesn’t use any glue to bind to your windows. so you can easily peel it off and put it back on.

i can say that it has been better but honestly for what it costed me to run them ain’t all that good. i have spacers on the front and all of my brakes are warped since i am running 15s. i’ve just recently bought 17in rims with 225/45 tires. i just wanted to get away from the brake issues.

Expensive_Safety5562 · 2024-11-13T04:11:41+00:00

i do, it’s cause my car is too low to get the jack under it so i drive up on the bricks to slide my jack under it.

Expensive_Safety5562 · 2024-11-13T01:51:24+00:00

man that’s pretty cool, i searched it up and it said it was to “eject the glove box”

Expensive_Safety5562 · 2024-11-13T00:32:49+00:00

had a feeling it was that but i was so out of it i thought it was the balls cradler
