    You leave the business end of your engine looking like that, you deserve what you get.

    No tire boogers or any other sort of debris got in, Ken. The guards did their job.

    This thread got me thinking about all the majors I have done on my 348's and 355's. Okay I only owned half of a 355 for less than a year and I wasn't allowed to drive it. LOL. Anyway, this is on 3 cars since 2002.

    I don't think I ever saw an issue with the timing belt. The alternator belt once, the alternator bearing once, the cam bearings twice, water pump twice, the A/C flange (or was it the alternator flange?) once, lifter spacers 3x and maybe something else I can't recall. This is the real reason for the major - checking over everything else while you are looking at the timing belt and hoses.

    I have heard this many times over the years, and what you say is valid.
    Always makes me think that there must be a lot of 360s out there with the same lurking problems. Because the engine does not come out for a belt change, any other wear/damage must be over looked/missed because of it.
