I remember a story about this guy who had a 4kq i think and it broke the 
timing belt.  he didnt realize this immediately, and just knew that it 
wasnt running right at all...he drove it something like 50 miles or so 
before getting to the garage he wanted to go to and that is where he 
found out it had no timing...

hehe

not bad eh?

later...
