HI - RUN DON'T WALK AND JUST REPLACE IT OR YOU MAY BE A PEDESTRIAN SOON!! If you've owned it four years and don't know you are probably on borrowed time! It's a couple hundred buck job but can save your whole engine from complete disaster! Not all engines can survive a broken belt. I mean it! Game over! No warning! Tom

Alright I'm on it then...Not too long ago my car broke down and I thought it might have been the timing belt but was lucky and it was a bad ignition control module so my engine was'nt screwed like i thought could've happened if it was the timing belt so I'm off to get a new one put in.

thanks.

TIMING BELTS! Sign In

NOT ALL BUT SOME CARS WILL CRASH THE VALVES INTO THE PISTONS IF A TIMING BELT BREAKS OR EVEN SLIPS ENOUGH. THE BENT VALVES AND POSSIBLE HOLES IN THE PISTONS RENDER THAT ENGINE JUNK. IF YOU ARE INTO BOATING JUST GET A GOOD CHAIN AND USE IT FOR A MOORING! IT'S THAT SERIOUS FOLKS OVER A $30 BELT AND SOME REAL TALENT TO INSTALL.

THERE IS NO "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" CARD FOR THIS - IT'S ''GAME OVER" !! TAKE HEED,
