Our V8's don't use a timing belt, they're for OHV engines.. our engines use a timing CHAIN set, and it doesn't require replacement at 60,000 miles like those rice burner imports.. but at 200k you really need to start looking for a replacement engine.. either used at the boneyard or Craig's List etc.. or you can get a rebuilt longblock at NAPA, the Zone etc with a warranty.
