Almost killed her last night

So yeah, my water pump has been going out for a little while now. So, I picked up a new one a few days ago. However, I didn't have a chance to swap it in due to work, which is a 35 mile commute.

At the end of my shift last night, 11:30 pm, I head out to the garage and start er up. The first thing I think is "Oh Shit!" I knew from the get go making it home was unlikely, but start off on my way.

I make it about 15 miles and, how to describe it, a carnivourous Howl rises from my engine bay as my temp. sky rockets. I immediatly shut it down and pull over.

Popping the hood and feeling the timing belt, hmmm whats this, Thank you Honda Gods! There is less than 1/4 inch of teeth left on my belt, but she did not jump or slip!

I ended up towing it home with a GSR and a tow strap, and spent 2 hours this morning fixing it, and over an hour has just getting the crank pulley off.

The good news is that it fired right up once I got a jump start. Whew!

Nice save man, wish I would have been that lucky. $200 worth of new valves and it still wont run right.

cool im glad things worked out well, long commutes suck, but at least the milage is easier on the car.
