About a week ago, I noticed I was leaking absurd amounts of coolant on my driveway. Not thinking much of it, I continued driving my Pathfinder as I usually do until it began overheating. I checked the radiator and little did I know it was completely empty...and then I saw the constant flow of coolant coming from around the crank pulley. Two days ago, I began tearing apart the front of the engine to gain access to the water pump as well as the timing belt (both are 50,000 miles overdue for replacement). You can’t tell from the image, but the left camshaft sprocket was retarded a tooth (41 teeth between cams rather than 40). After I get my new head gaskets in and reassemble the engine head, I’ll be swapping belts, installing a new water pump, thermostat, and all gaskets and seals for the intake, fuel system, valve covers, and the cams and crank. Pray for this first timer. [emoji1695] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You'll be fine! You got this!!

The color is called peeka blue, It’s a translucent powder so I sprayed it with super chrome first, On the contrary I can’t wait to take it off-road, the coating is very durable, I’ve been doing literally every bracket screw bolt washer I can remove, It was Npora that inspired me to start this restoration. Hoping to win pathy of the year once she’s roadworthy haha Hope you guys can appreaciate the progress so far. I probally will spend another year on it, I want to powdercoat the rear axle. the only blue you should be able to see is when it’s rolled over or when the hoods open.
