I already have everything apart. I just need your help with the belt stuff. I can put everything back together myself. I just don't want to mess with the whole TDC, etc...

Default jeff would you mind helping me out here? Aren't you in the Bay Area?

I have everything apart already and I can't seem to get the t-stat out. without moving the t-belt. I have never done a tbelt before so I'm afraid I might do it wrong and ruin my engine. Would you mind coming over if you are free helping me out either today or tomorrow? I tried prying the t-stat out to no avail so tbelt has to be removed. O ring for the t-stat is already damaged so I can't put everything back together anymore and drive it around. I'm in desparate need for assistance! I can pay you (i also posted this in the Nor Cal forum) Let me know if you could help me out. Thanks!
