invest in an engine that won't be in my car in another 3-4 months
i would never go through the inconvenience of breaking down somewhere due to an easily averted problem such as an old, failed timing belt just to justify the purchase of a new engine

that's not what I'm using to justify an engine change. I'm already in the works of the swap
honda hand book recommands 90k, i say do it anytime after 75k just to be safe, you don't want timing belt breaks on you because 80% and above you'll bend the valves too, i bent 4 while my old 3rd gen's timing belt broke, spent almost $1k to get everything fixed, PITA
I guess most of you are braver than me. At the average of 12k per year, you are going over 7 years on a rubber belt. I just don't trust rubber to last that long. Plus, I drive less than 12k/year so that might be 10 years for me. Thanks for the input but I think I will stick to 60k myself. Don't want mine to wind up like fourthgeneration's.
