recent timing belt/water pump-ORIGINAL Options

[mmmchocolate]

so i recently had the above done, and well i have 128k+ miles on my car, and i guess the timing belt HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED BEFORE! i had the original belt on since the car was purchased from a dealer!

my mechanic said he has never before seen this in his many many years.i wanted to snap some pictures of it but he wouldnt let me keep it, as he wanted to display it in the shop! i do not know how my car has survived for so long. it could have "exploded" at any moment in time. guess it was good when i got it done.

also, i had lots of leaks and i guess oil was dripping on my belt, which i believe helped it not break. idk though, has anyone else ever heard of a belt lasting this long!?!?!?

I dont know if it was done prior to me having the car, but I doubt it.
Purchased at 52k
currently 152k
I've had no problems with my car at all. a little bit of leaking oil (head gasket, maybe the rear main seal) but thats it.

Now that i've said this, I'll probably have it snap on me on the way home from work today. Thanks alot.
