If it IS a belt, don't neglect to change it - my grandfather's CA20 (beast!!!) powered Pintara

(bought as a 3 month old demo back in 89, as a just-about straight swap for a mint Vitamin C E-49 Charger... can i hear ya say "ripped"???) ... but that's beside the point

anyways - the pintara DIDN'T get its 80,000k timing belt change. At about 85 or 90,000, the belt snapped or slipped, taking the whole motor with it... valves hitting pistons etc. Nasty.
