yeah after reading this I believe you're right. I wrote in to tell my story and in reply to those who condemned their kia's. I already priced out a new belt and pulleys kit ($78) will get to it right away.

Re: Timing Belt destroyed engine

I mentioned it because I just replaced a belt(50k) on it. Fortunately it was a non-interference motor. Non-Kia.
