Re: timing belt replacement 200 1988

Good advice from Mark about the seals. Seals are cheap and easy to do while your in there. The timing belt is not timed to fail at exactly 50K and you should not worry about extending. I am not proud to say that I have gone over 100K on one. Like anything well engineered there is plenty margin for error. No damage can result if it fails on your engine, it just means your engine stops as with any other failure such as hall sensor, relays, burst rad etc. A broken timing belt is the easiest failure to diagnose, just look into the oil filler cap to see if the cam is turning while trying to start.
