I did one of those kinds of things on my car. I had heard they went cloudy again pretty fast, and that was the case for me. They looked awesome for maybe a month.
Hopefully you have better luck.

Don't weld without a mask or helmet. I just did thinking a quick tac would be some what ok. I was wrong.


Non jeep related question.
92 toy celica, non interference motor.
My question is, if the timing belt skipped some teeth, would or could it cause the distributor to crap out?

Try this. Before starting after a period of time, turn the key to ON for a few seconds allowing the fuel pump to prime, and then shut it off. Repeat a coupla times and then turn to START. Tell us what happens then.

That hose is a common failure. Glad to hear you found it.

I do them all the time easy $$$ the key is to put quality uv protectant/sealant on after your done, or it will go foggy again. I did my sisters 1 1/2 years ago, still crystal clear.

No it wont, how ever it will not be sinked to the crank and off timing by a ways. set the belt and then re-set timing. it could cause it to not run or run very poorly. step one is set mechanical timing (T/belt)
