oh asap really! ill pm you chief!
yer its a pretty easy job, especailly on the 4a since its not interference you dont have to be as careful with the cams/crank. can spin them all you want.
as i type im 90% through changing the water pump, which is a tad more work than timing belt, but doesnt require taking off the harmonic balancer. and including taking out the radiator and flushing it ive been working for less than 1hr...oh how i love working on RWD engines.
oh yer make sure you have a harmonic balancer puller, cheap as from supercheap, its almost essential. i tried to get mine off with a number of methods. but 10secs with a puller and its off!
after you get the hamonic balancer off timing belt is a breeze of a job.

cool i'll try and pick one up, cheers dave! i think i will try and do the front seals too as it is leaking a bit of oil.
If you have tools i'll come and do it for cash, i'm in town and fucking broke.
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
ahhh how much did you want...? i really have very little money! the only thing ill need to get his the harmonic balancer puller.
also does this look right for replacing the oil pump gasket?
