1995 Dodge Neon ECB Timing Belt And Water Pump Replacement

Given that I don't know the history of the engine that I dropped into the neon recently, I didn't want to take the chance of getting stuck on the side of the road. I decided to get a jump on some problems that may arise in the future so I ordered a timing belt and water pump to throw into the car. Good thing too, as the day I did the swap I went to pick up the harmonic balancer removal tool and heard some strange noises coming from the engine. Turns out both parts had bearings well on their way out so they probably hadn't been changed in a long while. Now I should be good on them until my odometer hits 300K! (At 219K now) Any time you have the engine replaced with one that you don't know the history of, you should always do a full service on it to make sure it'll last you as long as possible. Any mechanic who says otherwise isn't worth his wrenches.
