Most of us appreciate the many uses of a kitchen sink, showers with hot water straight from the tap, and indoor plumbing, but sometimes plumbing can be a real pain when something goes wrong. A clogged sink or a backed up toilet can create a stressful and messy situation. Fortunately, when your plumbing starts to have issues there are a few common problems that can be pinpointed as the cause of your plumbing troubles.

One of the most common plumbing problems that many people run into is a bad smell coming from the toilet on a consistent basis. Although it may seem like the toilet is an obvious place for bad smells, your toilet shouldn't have a consistent bad odor. If you find that you have this problem, it is most likely caused by a broken seal that is causing leakages underneath the toilet. If you think it's time to call for help with your plumbing, Las Vegas has the plumbers to help. If the latter, you need to first shut off the water supply to the toilet then flush the toilet until the tank is empty. Soak up any remaining water.

Remove the caps and nuts at the base of the toilet. Disconnect the water supply line to the toilet. Gently rock the toilet back and forth until you break the seal and any caulking. Remove the toilet. Now put the new seal in place with the round side up, centered over the opening with the bolts in place. Replace the toilet carefully. Now sit on it to help create the new seal. Now reconnect the water supply line, re-install the bolts, and turn your water supply on and the problem should be taken care of.

How To Replace Timing Belts

Timing belt breaks can often be catastrophic for an engine. Even a worn timing belt can lower gas mileage and cause a decrease to the power of your engine. It is important to change your timing belt at least every 60,000 miles. Replacing a timing belt can be a difficult job. But with a little know how and some free time, you should be able to fix it yourself.

The first thing to remember is to wait for your engine to cool off. You may want to wait at least a day after running your car.

Your next step is to disconnect the negative battery cable. After doing this make sure any obstructions to the timing belt cover are out of the way. This may take a bit of time and may include air intake assembly, the water pump pulley and other accessories. Each car is different and will have different things that may interfere.

You may want to check a repair manual for your car's particular model to see if your car has a distributor cap. If it doesn't have one, then it should tell you what to do from there. This may be as simple as making sure the cam position sensor is set to TDC. Otherwise, just remove the distributor cap.

Next, using a wrench on the bolt of the crankshaft, rotate the engine until the timing mark on the pulley is lined up with the 0 mark on the timing scale. Then remove the timing belt cover. Check the timing belt tensioner bearings and replace them if they are loose. Move the tensioner away from the belt. You can then slide the timing belt off to remove it.

After this, put the new belt in place and adjust the tension as necessary. Be sure it fits properly over the teeth of the timing sprockets, but don't make it too snug.

The next steps are fairly simple: apply a new gasket onto the timing belt cover, reinstall all of the items you previously disconnected, reconnect the battery and start the engine to see how it runs. If it knocks, you may have missed something. If it doesn't, then you have successfully changed your timing belt.

Round plastic cap thing? Its not the cap where you pour the oil in is it? If so then just get a new cap.
