[Shotimes] Timing Belt

[Paul L Fisher]

Does she remember where it was done? If so, ask her to get a duplicate
receipt. If she waffles, she was lying.

As others have said, if it breaks, no biggy other than you are stranded,
however, when I had mine changed, the low end torque increased
substantially. It was like driving a different car. Mine had stretched quite
a bit in 107,000 miles.

> Is there a way to tell if the Timing belt is really old or rather new?  I
am still new to this car and the SHO engine.  The lady that I bought it from
stated that it had been replaced, but she claims the car was broken into and
trashed so she doesn't have the receipt.  Will the belt start to look like a
serpentine belt does, kinda frayed or should I just take the plunge?  I have
105,000 miles on the car and she claimed it was done around 95,000 or so.
> Any suggestions that you all have would be appreciated.
> Also, is there anyone on here in the Jax, FL area that might want beer and
pizza for first person sage advice and other help?
> Thanks,
