I always say that if you have extra parts, and the thing your working on still works, then it was over-engineered.

My mantra; Murphy's Law of inanimate reproductivity

If you take something apart & put it back together enough times, eventually you will have two of them

So are you just building a motor in the passenger seat of your car? An engine stand might be a little easier...

Fuel, air, compression, ignition, exhaust all at the right time. Thats all it needs to run. One is messed up. You need to look carefully at each individual thing and what could be stopping one of them.

You mean MOPAR?!

M = mostly
O = outdated
P = parts
A = arranged
R = randomly

example: the late model 2.7L DOHC Chrysler has the water pump located behind the timing cover... so guess where the coolant goes when the water pump springs a leak? Engineering brilliance!

Timing cover has to come off to change the water pump on the 3.0L V6 of my Mazda 929, as well. I don't see why coolant on the timing belt would be a problem, though. That sucker's never slipping.
