I was wondering f some of you could tell me how long you've run on a timing belt before replacement on your 420A's. My car has 126K miles on it and I did the first change at 65K and was thinking that this thing was likely about to go in the next 5 or 6K miles, but after ripping off the safety cover and inspecting the belt, there are no frays, wear marks or other evidence of immediate problems.
Any feedback would certainly be appreciated and a definite answer as to whether breakage leads to valve train destruction would help as well. It seems that even Mitsu mechanics aren't sure since sometimes breakage creates damage and sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
