> Do you know how many miles are on the timing belt? If you are at all unsure you should just get a new one now and take care of it so you don’t find yourself rebuilding a head when it lets go. A new timing belt is a must every 60k miles, I wouldn’t stretch that number at all. I usually buy a new belt when I hit 50k and then put it in when it’s convenient for me.

Thanks for the advice man, it’s got a Greddy timing belt, all the aftermarket parts have 17,000 miles on them the guy that sold the car to me said. So i think it’s okay for a little longer. And thanks alot for offering some help, I’m probably gonna need it sometime in the future haha, afterall I’m still learning these engines
