I'z up.

Inventory day.

This should be interesting. We are not receiving anything today. If a truck shows up. We have to turn them away.

So tomorrow, we will get hammered. Brad is taking tomorrow off too. The SOB.

2005 was the last year Civics had timing belts.The 1.8 liter engines have timing chains and external pumps.

Thanks for the info...

So that explains the serp belt. My 2003 has 2 v-belts....

Shows how long it's been since I worked on a Honda.......

Weird paced day at work. I'm varying between busy and absolutely dead.

I'm pushing a broom, trying to look busy. Can't do anything until the inventory is over. Did all of my CBT's for the month already.

The car drives fine. So it sure seems like everything is good to go. New pads and rotors are on deck anyway.

Thanks for the responses, fellas

I don't think it really counts as a civic anymore..

It started life as a d series sedan, but now is K swapped with all kinds of other work done.. Its actually a lot of fun to drive.

But the k series are timing chain, so the water pump runs off the accessory belt.

Not really feeling like I want to adult today. At least the weekend starts at 7 am.

Picked up the wifes Grandsport Vette this afternoon. Not happy at all paying that bill. Two right side wheels and two front tires. One more stupid hiccup out of that thing and a new Dodge dually will be in it's place.

This was the sky over my motel in Missoula last night. The red isn't from sunset, it's a reflection from the forest fires. Storm was caused by the fires as well.
