"Now is also a good time to replace the timing belt, water pump, clutch, oil filter.

All of those besides the clutch you get for a Del-SOl VTEC."

worked for him!!

did you get OEM parts? we got a water pump for a D16Z6 from CT (it was Sunday and my buddy didn't care if he had a CT part in his car) and it was the wrong one

now that Bruno Mentions it the Del sol did come with a SOHC engine in some models .... you probably got parts for that

prolly... that would explain why the timing belt is too short. one cam < two cams LOL but in reality 1 cam >>> 2 cams if you know what I mean. rawk on d-series

imported_gatherer

ohhh but I do I do know

Gunmetalef

hopefully napa (uap) will trade the parts back ****ing bastards

oh gawd... there is a reason we always use OEM parts.

oem parts > v8hunter03

i kno i kno.. i wanted to but... . it was less than half the price with napa.. i get a discount and it was sooo cheap to say no to.. it can't be that bad .. can it? other than getting order ****ed up.. the parts themselves..

to be honest... you can't know sometimes. sometimes it's fine, others not so good. it's not like the brand names are recognizable, yeah? to be safe I always use OEM peace of mind you can call it.
