I have a 42 mm wrench, anybody wants that?

since I dump my daewoo lanos, It is no use to keep it anymore I spent some money on this tool, so I want to sell it and get some money back. Hopefully I will not be blamed. It is not the oem one, and if you want to use it, you have to remove alternator. I also have the service manual(2000 daewoo lan...

before you rebuild your cylinder head, make sure the crank is ok
if you find your head was hurt too much, maybe stop fixing is not too bad
or try to find another engine

I just cannot image why Daewoo use such a stupid plastic pulley on a fragile DOHC system
a iron pulley will not cost too much

I have the whole set of tools in my back trunk, then I check it. Finally, I find the crank shaft axle was broken into pieces, the axle ...

today, I talked with a mechanic, and he gave me the idea that the timing may not right
actually, my timing is perfect, but I began to move my focuse on the timing system, finally, find out what's wrong.

I strip everything on the pulley, and tighten it, my car just runs perfectly.

I read the manual the job to pull the transmission off, is not a diy job, which can be done in the back yard. The biggest problem is to jack the car and support the transmission. I have to jack the car very high, and work under it for a long time. I also need some tool to support the transmission wh...

Then, my car is haunted, or it doesn't want to serve me.
It is challanging my patient, finance and ability, again and again.
even my friends say "do you fix your car" instead of "hello".

I am in bad mood. It is my first car. more and more clues point to the torque converter, which I almost can not fix it in my back yard. I also hear the click comes from engine, sound like it is from the fuel injector, but I am not sure. I try my best to save it, but I guess it is the time to say goo...

But this one only gave me endless...

Do I need any any special tools for the transmission job??
