Time for Timing Belts

["R. Cummings" <cumm@flash.net>]

I suppose this has been mentioned before but I think the timing belt will
probably go 100,000 mi. Unfortunately, the water pump bearings won't. I'm
sure I'm not alone to have had the pump fail causing the valves to run into
the pistons. Very expensive and I did all my own work.

By the way, I don't think I would readjust the belt at 30k. To do that you
move the water pump and I wonder if you could get the water pump "O" rings
to seal after you moved them.
