[Biturbos4] timining belt replaced - now lost power

[Grant]

Im not bernd, just roviding more data.

90k is "nominal". But if it breaks, it expenesive. So you have to trade 
off when you think is right. I admit to being conservative, but I do 
mine at 75k.  You generally cannot tell from inspection.

Total job for me was about $1100 I think.
