Mix the G-12 with distilled water 50/50.

Timing belt roller is also called the idler
pulley or damper pulley. You have
everything and are good to start.

Hey i checked out Renn-Art.com and Diesel geek and they don't have timing belt kits for 2.8L. What are your thoughts on the kit selling on ECStuning and ones sold on ebay? Thanks in advance guys

if its a 2.8, you'll want to buy the camshaft locking tool, or at least read about this in advance and be prepared to rig something up that will work instead of the tool.

Ya APR's mount is harder and bigger and has been known to cause vibrations especially on tip cars. A lot of people end up having to shave the mount for fitment and to reduce vib's. Greedspeed's is not as hard and no one has had fitment issues and vibration problems have been minimal. Its good for the tranny's internal parts for there to be SOME engine/drive train slack/rock during shifts and APR's snub doesnt really allow for any slack.
