| Not quite sure what to make of this post. I worked for a company for 8 years designing belt drives for most modern cars. A modern timing belt in a vehicle is normally capable of 60 000 miles, and some of our drives were good for 150, even in highly stressed applications.
Even with the difference in loads, engine speed etc I am surprised these belts are only good for 6K. (I am not disagreeing by the way, just surprised)
Has anyone ever had a belt let go? |
