Timing belt and head gasket job on a 4.2










Update on my project. I finally figured that it is much easier to upload pics on my laptop from google drive. I hope they are clear enough. So apparently the previous owner tried to do a timing job on this car and I'm finding that they did not do the best job. Here are some issues that I came across:
1. The left lamp is missing the plastic part so it is not aligning right, I need to replace or fix it if I can.
2. AC condenser hose was stripped. Need to replace.
3. There is oil all over the motor, I can't pin point where it's coming from yet.
4.One of the mounts is shot.
5. The timing might be off from just looking at the markings that are on there but I'll find out when I get the cam tool.
I also want to go ahead and upgrade all my coolant hoses with blue silicone ones. Anyone know where I can find them?
I've done some research on the cam tensioners too and the cams have to come out which means I HAVE TO get them cam tool and put it in before I take the cam shafts off to keep the motor from spinning. Basically I'll have to do it ALL together, might as well. Thanks for the pics too, this is getting exciting.
