84 4ksq Timing Belt Catastrophe...HELP!

[Alex Kowalski]

Oh, man.  Hey, you know, when you're talkin' about destroying your motor, it's all horseshoes and hand grenades anyhow.  As the late great Richard Petty once said, "You're gonna run the bitch 'till she blows up anyway!"

Where do you buy the timing belt from?  Mezcal Manufacturing, Inc.?  But if it works for you, dude, more pressure to ya. 

Bottoms up!
