    Ever Replace a Timing Belt?

    I have a 2000 Cirrus and it has over 120,000 miles on it. The manual says to replace the timing belt. Has anyone done this? If so how long should I plan? BTW I have had a timing belt go on me in a 83' LeBaron, it bent the valve which then eventually took a ****. Why do they still use belts???

    MIT Tools?

    Any here have input on MIT Tools? I went to a store the other day and that pretty much all they had. Some tools seemed well built and others...well not so much. They are less expensive that Craftsman, but not as cheap as Harbor Freight or the ITT tools you see in your Supermarket/hardware store.
