[Shotimes] Timing belt life

[Arjun Khosla]

My timing belt snapped at 105k while I was up high in the power band. 
Don't trust that our non-interference engines won't end up with valve 
damage-- carbon deposits (or something) cost me two bent valves, and a 
hella expensive repair bill (I can't believe how expensive the set of 
gaskets that I bought was...).  On the positive side, I got my valves 
machined and valve stem seals replaced while I had the heads checked for 
warpage...
