I'm not arguing with the insane anymore. It just makes you nuttier
than they are. If you are asking me to believe that is the only part
that has ever broke on you in all your years of car ownership-and you
are probably eighty or older-you are nuttier than me (unless I believed
it).

Well it's the truth, and if you had driven an American car you
could have said the same: I have never brokering any auto part on the
street. I have wore out tires, brakes, water pumps, radiators, and
alternators go at a hundred thousand miles, about two hundred thousand
on my C-6, engines have never had their heads off. That I swear to oh
mighty God. I understand Japanese timing belts still must be changed a
seventy, what a POP!

Re: Detroit Vs Japan
Only 100K for an alternator ?? Give me the german ones any time then. But
then again, you probably had to deal with the crap that AC Delco produced
....
And 70K is pretty good for a timing belt ; Ford requires you to change
theirs at 30K and as they broke reliably at 35 on their 2.5 diesel engines
people play it safe and change at 25K. Timing chains are obviously a
different story..

Re: Detroit Vs Japan
Perhaps. But I've recently seen it suggested that the reason that
there's so many 40s and 50s ****** vehicles coming out of barns with
30,000 miles on the clock is that they were underpowered, unreliable,
broken down, were parked and forgotten as not worth the bother.
Consider this: How often do you need to tune a modern
computer-controlled ignition, fuel-injected engine? How often did you
need to tune a points-and-condensor ignition?
