3148, When to change timing, engine, etc Posted by tim97rs, Jun-11-01 01:27 AM
Hey guys, question. When is the average for our timing belts to go out or need to be changed, is there a round about milage? WHat about the engine? Is there a peak for the life of the 420a in general? I have about 57,000 on mine with bolt on mods only. I will go nitrous in the near future untill i get the dough for turbo. SO in general how long till i need to do a rebuild? thanks...

I strongly suggest having your timing belt changed at 60k. I waited until it let lose at 65k and I was very lucky it didnt cause any damage. I dont know about the life expectancy of a motor is just depends how hard you are on it.
