Speedy VG30E Replacemtn / Rebuild tricks

[SteeevO]

so my timing belt broke (long story) and i need it back up and running by thursday afternoon to leave for king of the hammers in johnson valley. Any Ideas?

start now

pickup parts when the stores open

should not be an issue to make your schedule

 

remove the fan cowl, take the fan off the water pump, start removing things for clearance (belts etc) then the covers.

Ignore the t-stat etc unless you find you have time before putting it back together.

 

if you are lucky and can get the crank pulley off without a puller, you shouldn't have to pull the radiator. It may take a little longer to systematically tap it off but takes less time in the long run
