Hi,

I think Dave Stevens has answered your question better than I can. His reasoning is right on with my knowledge of manufacturing and the things they do to sell products!

As far timing belts go they are already “dialed in” or perfected for sprocket engines.
This makes me think Dave Stevens has the correct answer with the idea of many other engines out there!

I have used Volvos belts and Continental timing belts for years. I could see no difference in quality myself and I know manufacturers will and do shop around, just like we do!

This is one of many reasons the Bricks have done so well over the years with model continuity!
I have always considered Volvos forward thinking simplicity, as an enduring quality.

With Today’s line up though, they’re just as nuts as they come! $ 50-60K a copy?
Our cars already look exclusively different without trying!

Phil
