I had no idea how many hours it had on the old belt so it had to be changed, the odler and tensioner were both gritty so they had to go too. Parts were not at all cheap, but if the belt let go, it would have taken out valves and possible piston damage, for the $250 odd in parts, it was worth it. Its a beautiful engine, so smooth!As for speaking french, the closest i came to that was swearing at it when i lost skin from my knuckles... multiple times while working on the rotten thing! but we all know how that goes right?</blockquote>
