i really have to stress this to anyone who is not aware... the timing belt is one of the most important maintenence jobs to do!. it should be done every 80,000kms on all cars. some cars like honda's say every 100,000 but i have seen honda's snap belts at 70,000kms. if you are running stock cams and stock internals the worst that should happen if the timing belt snaps on your focus, is the best snaps and needs to be replaced. the car is "supposed" to be a "non-interfearnce" (SP?)however there have been people who say they have bent valves or worse from a timing belt snapping in their Focus
6 hours to do a water pump and timing belt????
WOW?! :blink:
it shouldn't take a mechanic more than 4 hours to do such an easy job.
