We only built the engines. They went out on racks of 6 to the assembly plants. Putting the timing belts on was a sit down job.

I've replaced a few myself, and it can be a PITA. 2006 Honda Pilot for one. As in who in their right mind would design it so you have to remove the motor mount to get the belt on/off?

Popular Post Gunny 56,407 Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 As a child growing up my mother did not like to cook. Nor was she good at it. Led to some rather unorthodox meals for the holidays. One Christmas we had egg salad sandwiches. So in keeping with this tradition I have a plan for our meal. Egg salad sandwiches, sour cream and onion potato chips, with dip and egg nog. For desert poptarts. Well that is what I plan to post a picture of anyway. Gotta give them something to talk about right? Larry Buskirk, Fred W. Hargis Jr, HARO50 and 3 others 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Cal 8,379 Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I was on pinterest a few days ago - clicked on "18 delicious peanut butter sandwiches" or some such. I mean, how many ways can you make a PB sandwich? Anyhow, one of them was bread, PB & green olives! Now I love my PB, I really like green olives. I do plan to try it, but probably not today...

Popular Post FlGatorwood 9,686 Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 For 2 years as a child, we ate pinto beans and cornbread except for breakfast. Wake in the morning, grandma had breakfast with eggs if the hens were not molting. Otherwise, just biscuits with syrup and Odem sausage. Walked home from school as we couldn't afford for me to eat there. Pinto beans and cornbread. Walked home after school and it was pinto beans with onions added and more of that cornbread. After 50 years, I will eat pinto beans in a bean burrito. What a life! Gunny, p_toad, DuckSoup and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
