scheduled component replacement on the basis of visual appearance - their case being that the timing belts that came off their car recently appeared to be in "perfect condition". well, here's a timing belt that looks just dandy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38636024@N00/5252164077/ vs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38636024@N00/5252164087/ -- nomina rutrum rutrum |

Under hood temps have climbed a lot from the older vehicles. All the insulation and close packing give you little air movement and the heat just bakes everything. -- Steve W.
