[urq] Water Pump and Timing Belt was "help"

[Jim Haseltine]

What engine are we talking about here? I don't know of an Ur-q engine that's 
non-interference unless the WX is very different to the WR. The WR is an 
interference engine, so is the MB - I've got a collection of wrecked pistons 
to prove it.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
