starting timing belt / cooling system - 4/1/2008 8:53:18 AM    dualaudi   Posts: 12 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline okay, the V6 GALANT is a BITCH!!! to work on. do we really need 30 bolts on the motor mount to get to the timing belt? Mother effers! Also, took off intake manifold to replace plugs/wires, who designes a motor where you have to take the manifold off to change plugs... I would recomend having the belt/water pump taken to a shop... Post #: 1
