I hope not. I HATE working with chains. I'd much rather work with belts.
Oops I meant belts.

SVX's have an overhead cam too right?


The problem is , I had a used engine (30,000 miles) installed in the SVX. The engine had a 3 month waranty. My mechanic got some parts off of my old engine (without my permission which voided the waranty) and put it in the new engine. No less than a month , car won't steer and he says that the timing belt could be busted and that the engine could be gone as well caused by the timing belt.

After spending spending $2500 on the svx, he wants my permission to look at the car or whether I decide to buy a new car? WTH?
