    I once owned a Ford. Galaxie 500 with a 427 Y block and a C6. Pretty
    much dominated my class (I think it was C/SA). Then I started driving
    real race cars. Things that burned nitro and such.

    Hang on a sec - jim beam mentioned 'proper maintenance ' of a belt, I
    merely asked what that was, as I had never heard of maintaining a
    timing belt. So, please read threads properly before implying
    something. I don't see how you get that stupid statement about snake
    oil out of my simple question, AZ.

    Personally, I am of the 'replace a timing belt between 60k - 80k
    miles' school, regardless of the manufacturers recommendation.

    the belt replacement schedule is in the service manuals for these vehicles.


    based on what? do you know something the manufacturer doesn't? assuming
    you're using oem belts of course.

    Based on personal the experience of having one break early and ruining
    an engine. But I'd still appreciate you addressing my question
    regarding 'proper maintenance' - or were you just being sarcastic and
    you really meant 'maintenance = replacement'?
