@Aikibro
you mentioned your timing belt broke at around 230K miles...? was that the original belt?
I am on my 2nd timing belt and am at 250K.. first one was changed at 100K. I would change it, i just don't have $500 right now. SO I'm curious if your belt that broke was the first or 2nd.
...AND I thought the 97 model was an interference free model, meaning an egine replacement was not necessary if the belt broke, am I wrong...?
