Timing belts - done!

I was able to get the other timing belt installed. At first I though it'd be a hard since it's on the front cylinder bank, but it was just as easy as the rear. Same procedure -- lock the cams, mark the belt, remove the old tensioner bearing, clean everything, transfer the marks to the new belt, install belt and tensioner then tension belt and torque the bearing.



The old tensioner bearing was, however, more stuck than the first one. It took me probably 30 minutes to pull the thing off and of course, it destroyed itself on the way out and ball bearings were all over the floor. The inner race and bearing cage remained on the tensioner. After unbolting the tensioner, I had to heat the race with a torch to get it off. The tensioner mechanism was also seized and had to be pried apart. After lots of cleaning lubrication, the tensioner moved freely and everything bolted up fine. One step closer to starting the engine!
