need to fix the bezel and bring the heater controls a bit forward
after about 5 hours, i finally changed a single O-ring on my v6 on the cam thrust cap. Had to drain all coolant, fit my fat hands in tight places, did not know I need new gasket so had to search for those then could not find three oring that I needed cause I had to take the whole coolant housing out of the engine. the orings were still flexible i just cleaned up the areas and reused them hopefully they do not fail down the line. hopefully that is the end of my leaking oil.
Found the OEM TOB for 32 shipped win!
Installed my prothane front lower control arm bushings. Front end feels nice and solid now. Ball joints are next.
Installed led map lights. Twice as bright as stock and crisp white.
Here's how I installed them.

oh wow, the people that did the timing belt last on my car had the tone ring/blade thinger a few degrees off, so this basically means that the pins that located it frm crank sprocket to the tone ring have punched THROUGH the tone ring, oh the many MANY things that weren't done correctly to my car that I have discovered since I had to take the front head off, I only know that the fine people that did the timing belt cause this because the harmonic dampener and crank sprocket were changed out with the timing belt
anyway, anyone know which way the tone ring/blade goes in relative to the notch on the crank when it is installed with the crank gear?
After a crazy day at work I was over joyed to see that these goodies came today.

well, buying stuff for the 6g75, got the timing belt on, and then I realized that I needed to reposition the tensioner arm pulley, and that I needed a specific tool for this, well, that's ordered with a new pulley
Replacing both front hub assemblies that I had a machine shop fit with arp extended wheel studs.....runnin a 1/2 spacer in the front so my 19"s will clear my brembos. Without the new studs I'm only getting about 4 revolutions...maybe 5. Changing LCA's while I'm down there
Oil change..nothing exciting
Installed aftermarket gauge overlays. They look great. nice and bright. I wish the blue was a little more "blue" but I only paid $23 shipped so I won't whine too much. Lol. i'm going to swap out the white leds that I have in there now with red ones so the needles light up red instead of orange. Going to swap out the white led for a red one behind the odometer too. Should look great.
