the timing belt idle pulley broke and because the engine is an interference engine the pistons and valves collided so now to repair it i need the head repaired. Had I known that the timing belt needed to be check at 60,000 miles i would have done it. now im looking at a very costly repair on my hands.

RookieI had to replace my timing belt. It was making a really loud noise under my hood and luckily I brought it in right before it broke. Still cost about $500 to fix...
