so i recently had the above done, and well i have 128k+ miles on my car, and i guess the timing belt HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED BEFORE! i had the original belt on since the car was purchased from a dealer!
my mechanic said he has never before seen this in his many many years.i wanted to snap some pictures of it but he wouldnt let me keep it, as he wanted to display it in the shop! i do not know how my car has survived for so long. it could have "exploded" at any moment in time. guess it was good when i got it done. also, i had lots of leaks and i guess oil was dripping on my belt, which i believe helped it not break. idk though, has anyone else ever heard of a belt lasting this long!?!?!? -------------------- A work in (extremely slow) progress

yea, its weird, i've seen belts with 120k+ on them that looked good, and ive seen belts with under 100k that looked like they were about to snap at any second. alot of it has to do with how the car is/was driven, i think.
