Fixed!

Got my car back today from my indy, he made sure the marks were lined up. Also replaced TB, water pump, both pulleys, hydr. tensioner, front crank seal and both front camshaft seals. I was billed for 5 hrs of labor @ $85/hr. FCP Groton saved me a lot on the parts.

The water pump really is built like a tank, so are both pulleys (I wonder if they have roller bearings inside as opposed to ball bearings?)The TB showed minimal surface cracking on the flat side after being in there 6 yrs and 77,000 miles.

The next stall over had an S70, with the mech. TB tensioner and 105K miles I believe. The belt had never been replaced. It should have. Showed quite a bit of surface checking on the smooth side.

It'll be interesting to see if I notice any performance/gas mileage difference with the cams now back to where they should be.
