Toysrme Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) 90,000 mile timingbelt & water pump changes. Change the accessory belts then. They normally should last a good 7-10 years. I.E. you'll want to change them with the timing belt. Edited January 16, 2006 by Toysrme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camlex Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks, It's good to know that TB will last to 90,000. I will change other belts at sametime. Again, thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have a 97 if you go over the 90K and the belt break, no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Since you have a 97 if you go over the 90K and the belt break, no big deal. yeah, unless you are 200 miles out in the desert with no cell phone reception. :whistles: steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element51 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) wait, what is system that the 97 has that restricts the engine from doing any damage to itself is the t belt snaps?? Edited January 20, 2006 by element51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 There isn't a system, the valves simply don't interffere with the pistons at any orientation. The belt snaps, it's gonna destroy the timing belt covers, and possibly a cam sprocket in the process. Killed ym front sprocket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
