The P/O put in a new timing gear kit but used the one with plastic guides..three months ago.Will this last 80-100 thousand miles,or less?


I think it depends a lot on driving style. My '87 which always sees every regular maintenance, had the first set (from the factory) break at 175,000 miles. The factory recommends replacement every 100,000 I think, so 1.75 times the factory interval sounds pretty good to me.
