Here's my engine project. I can't believe the thing even runs still. It has to be running on like 3 cylinders with metal everywhere inside the engine. I drove it for 10 miles like that, had low oil pressure, CEL, stalled on the highway etc... Total warrior of an engine, lived till about 239k.

So your engine is overdue to blow up? Just messing. I dont think the timing belt was ever changed on mine.
