What Mileage Is Recommended To Replace Timing Belt On A 2002 Sl With A 1.9 5 Spd. Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated. Also Would The Valves Be Bent If This Belt Would Break?

Your engine has a timing chain, and there is no scheduled maintenance for it. I believe it is an interference engine.

No maintenance required on the timing chain other than regular oil and filter changes. They can and do wear out and break and when they do break the engine is toasted. If oil and filter changes haven't been kept up or oil is allowed to run low often, it can accelerate the deterioration of the timing components.

It is. Keep up on the oil and oil changes and you'll be fine.
