Re: Most likely result of timeing belt falure during normal highway operating mean specs.

Huh? I really don't understand your question. But i'll take a few stabs.

Comon reasons for Timing Belt Failure on the 3.5 liter V6 are:
1) Water Pump Failure (Seized or Destroyed bearings)
2) Belt Tensioner Failure (Seized or destroyed Bearings)
3) Belt failure (Belt is worn beyond recommended service limit of 105,000 miles and snaps)

If any of the above happens due to the fact that this an interference engine there is the possibility of valve and or piston damage due to the stopped rotation of the cam when the belt fails while the engine is still spinning and the piston striking an open valve.

to repair and get the thrill back than a pissed off girlfriend.
