Got her running. Besides a stripped tensioner pulley bolt(loctite and coarse threads). I cut my plastic timing belt cover off, but if I wanted to take it off the correct way and reinstall the correct way-the crankshaft pulley needs to be removed on a 93.

Sweet, thnx for the tips. I'm gonna try to get it all back together on thursday so I'll post up my experiences. Not gonna bother with the A/C @ 10,000 ft. Might even get better gas mileage?

1st time soob owner and I believe i got it figured out but.. The timing is off since replacing my water pump. Just bought this soob 1500 miles ago and he had reciepts for new timing belt and other stuff, but no new water pump. Tight new belt prob. caused the water pump pulley shaft to snap. From what I have found out so far it is a non-interefernce engine so all valves and such are okay. My manual and this forum seem to be matching answers on the timing issue. So I just have to align the two camshaft marks-(not the arrows)-at 12 o clock as well as the mark on the crankshaft gear-(not pulley)? It seems pretty easy but my driver side cam gear does not want to stay in the 12 o clock position, big channellocks i assume? It seems to want to live at the 2 0 clock position. + the timing belt has no marks on it. Used to working on bb w/ timing chains so any ideas or tips would be helpful, thanks nate.
