    This Sunday works fine for me. Let's do the Starbucks that you mentioned. I lived in that area about 7 years ago, so no problem finding it. We'll see if some others can make it too.
    How about 10:30 am @ Starbucks, weather should be nice on Sunday, so I will be in the Ebony VX.

    Anyone else available for a Meet, Greet & Diagnose on Sunday @ 10:30 am? Let's get together for a cup of Joe.

    Would love to meet up with y'all, but I'm heading over to Telluride on Friday for the weekend. I'll get over there for one of the Denver meets, I swear. It would be great to put faces to screen names.

    Have fun replacing those timing belts.

    Put me down as "maybe", "if possible", or "love to but..."

    If i'm free, i'll be there!!! There's a chance Amy and I will be staying up in the mountains Saturday night for a ski trip. There's also a chance we'll be skiing Saturday and returning home the same day. If we come back Saturday, I should have no problem meeting up for coffee and clunking.

    Also Tom, I had a clunking a while back when I went over bumps. After a lot of troubleshooting, I found play in the lower driver side ball joint.

    I posted the question on the planet and recieved some other good suggestions worth looking into.

    The more I hear it, the more I think it sounds like suspension or something like the ball joint. It tends to happen more when I am on bumpy surfaces or coming to a stop.

    Turning the tunes up is my temporary fix, but having a ball joint fail on Poison Spider Mesa (or where ever) would not be a good thing. Cue Wiley Coyote falling very very far down to the Colorado River. SPLAT!

    I have the pre drilled bar "tool" to get that crankshaft pulley nut off and back on torqued to spec. Youre more than welcome to using it! I probably couldnt help much with the mystery clunk but i think if i had to do a timing belt again i could do it in about half the time! I just bought the all in one dayco kit from autozone. It comes with the belt, tentioner, tentioner pulley, Idle pulley, and the water pump. Pretty nice kit although there is no marks on the timing belt. Its not a problem as long as you pay very close attention to the marks on the cams and project those marks over to the new belt with a silver sharpie... Let me know when you wanna take the plunge and we can have that beer we were talking about!
