Premature Timing Belt Failure 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Wed Jan 15 06:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

This morning the timing belt on my '89 760 (B230FT) snapped at startup. I'm replacing the belt but it is only 17K mi. old. What might have caused such a premature failure and what other things should I look for. Thanks.
