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...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

I think its 60,000 on the timing belt, Your at 57,000 i would go ahead and do it....plus install a AfX udp while your at it, if funds permit:)

STAR Turbo stage II
180whp @ 5psi(untuned)

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.
