Preventative Maintenance: While this unit has an exceptionally low 77k miles, rubber timing components age over time. For total peace of mind and long-term security, we highly recommend replacing the timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, accessory belt, and front/rear crankshaft seals while the engine is out of the vehicle chassis.
