Default Tb and wp done today

Got her all buttoned up running perfect and no leaks. The old tb had slight signs of wear but not bad wp tensioner and pulleys all looked perfect. There was one snag when I pulled the harmonic balancer off I didn't take the puller off and drove it into the ac rad. I was very lucky to not end up causing a leak. This just pisses me off so bad

only 70000 km but it's an 01 and it's never been done so for peace of mind I did it any way total cost of $400 Canadian (everything seems to cost more in Canada) and 4 hours work it was worth it,

Sooo? .Only.42,000 miles? The LS430's timing belt is quite robust. However, peace of mind is always wise and a good job there!

It was definitely the age 16 year old belt that made me change it.
