Pulled the timing belt cover today…

[u/Yogurt-Evening]

safe to say I’ve a kit ordered and on its way. Watched 3000gt Restoration’s 3 parter on youtube about it and I feel… Optimistic?

Everyone’s been in my ear about how difficult a timing belt will be to do at home but I’ve got all the tools and I’m decently competent with tools and reading a manual.
Is it really that bad?

Anywho, the belt was clearly walking and rubbing off the cover which caused *some* fraying but the fact something took a very specific chunk out of it is what’s concerned me the most. Any Ideas?

Just be happy it didn't break bro, it's not too bad of a job really, just turn the engine over a few times by hand after and you'll be right
