Opti replacement update! (kind long)
Thanks alot to all those who gave tips/advice today in the course of 8hours i managed to replace the opti/radiator and belt. It was not an easy task, I wound up having to make a balancer puller out of two other ones to get something that would fit but got it done, the opti was a mess, apparently the previous owner could not get the balancer off so where the coil wire plugs in had broken off and it was siliconed in place. My coil wire was bad and of course no one sells them individually or in a whole set so i made a new one. The opti o-rings were bad and had gotten oil all in the opti as well as all over the front cover and the screws had come totally out of the rotor and it had fallen off inside the unit. All in all i don't see how the car ran at all. Now it REALLY runs good, alot more power than before. I think for sure i could have pulled this off in 5-6hrs if i had not been running all over for parts and eaten lunch.
Just shows us amatures can do this too!
