[Shotimes] Timing Belt

[Ron Childs]

When my belt was replaced by the SHOShop during its 60K service (at about 
100K actual) the old belt looked practically new. Cases of timing belts 
breaking are extremely rare (but not unheard of.) On V6's, a broken belt 
will leave you stranded but will not further damage the engine.
