valve bender?

[bonerb]

is the 95 2.3 a valve bender? or should i do a t belt before it breaks?

The 2.3 is a non-interference engine... But you should replace your timing belt at 100k miles...

cool i just bought it for 200 bucks and doing some PM to it and its got 279K on it

wow i was lining up the timing marks on the t belt last night and the belt snapped when i was turning it by hand i was pretty close to being stranded on the side of the road

Good catch!

That was one of the first repairs I did...unfortunately, I got stuck 50 miles from home...and because I had no idea it was the belt I started replacing parts that weren't needed...spent about $200 before I realized the belt was broken...
