I'll tell you why - : they put timing belts in because they don't require lubrication and their : manufacturing cost is less. I don't think anyone here has said that this engine is great; in fact, most people avoid it. Saab uses metal timing chains in all of their 4-cylinder engines, even today. -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
