And if you drive the snot out of your car, like WE ALL SHOULD, downshifting in the upper rev range all the time wears the belt out faster. Gapboys is an auto, so I figure his must have lasted over 140,000 :rolleyes:
Any experienced mechanic (Ford,Honda,whatever) should have this and the waterpump done in less than an hour, and then add an other hour adjusting the valves while you're there.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
