      It seems like this has been the theme of my life recently. I’m trying to keep in mind that tomorrow is a new day and a chance to start from scratch. Setbacks can be solved with a clear head and relentless positive action.

      I’m finding that putting the problems into perspective can help too. Work has sucked, I’ve been sick and the car repair was taking multiples of the originally planned time. But on the other hand, I’m going home to a great girl at the end of the day, I just walked to the library to pick up a Martin Amis novel, and I’ve got food on the table. Things could be worse, ya know?

      I’m also trying to do some good for others.

      Just keep moving.

          Just got this B series video for my 97 CRV (timing belt broke right before I could replace it :pinch:) and had to comment! The trick for tightening the belt tension by holding onto the cam sprocket got rid of all the slop I was getting by following the factory service manual.

          I was able to get the head off, replace a bent exhaust valve, do the timing belt and valve adjustment thanks to the resources here! I’m very happy to have this car running before the snow comes. Thanks, Eric!
