Both of thosw are good tips. However there is always an exception. Keep listening to him. Welcome to the forum and feel free to jump in. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jan 15, 2010, 8:17 PM Post #3 of 5 (2676 views) Re: Serpentine belt and spark plud thread tricks Sign In Yup, Gramps still has some smoke on the old fast ball.....I use both of those with some slight variations but basically the same things... You got a good source for info there, take advantage & pick his brain. Did he ever turn wrenches professionally and if he did when did he get out of the field? Oh........and Welcome to the forum, grab a beer & make yourself at home....... re-tired Veteran / Moderator Jan 15, 2010, 8:45 PM Post #4 of 5 (2674 views) Re: Serpentine belt and spark plud thread tricks Sign In US GRAMPS SURE AM SMART AINT WE W2O ?
