aveos are breaking timing belts even before the 60k mile interval. and they bend valves.

fair enough not all ecotecs are prone to the timing guide problem. i have one customer with a saturn wagon with an ecotec that has 360k miles on it. still going strong.

then again i had one that had 120k on it and the engine was dry as a fart externally but it burned oil. no indications of smoke or anything just locked up while they were driving. customer had oil changed every 3k miles.
