Timing Belt Interval
So...digging through some old reciepts a week or two ago I found my last reciept for the 90q timing belt change.
If you guys recall during the summer I posted about wondering what the T-belt looked like, as I couldn't remember when I last did it.
Car has 420,000km on it now.
Timing belt was last changed at 215,000km.
Uh, OOPS!
Heh heh. Who wants to put money on whether or not the t-belt breaks when I drive the car 15km from where I'm storing it to where I will be working on it? Good thing this motor is just my 'spare' now.

here's what I found in the 1990 V8 I just bought

I would say the belt had never been changed (145,000 miles) except that I found evidence of previous hackmanship among the rusted, rounded-off timing cover bolts. I sort of think that somebody attempted to do the job once but chickened out.
