RE: wats da recommendation of timing belt change on 97
i wouldnt let it go much past 80 - 90 k. my car was babied as a newborn and somehow made it to 212k on a stock timing belt and head gasket. but when the belt broke - it took all but four valves with it.
RE: wats da recommendation of timing belt change on 97
Just did my daughter's '96 Highline coupe at 98K. The water pump went out, the belt looked good but it had been replaced by the previous owner. New pump (no rebuild junk) and idler pulley. I got an assortment of 12x1.75mm bolts to make the process of removing and installing the balance easier.
