I suspect that the dealers are using the 60,000 mile belt change as a way out of a lot of warranty work that is actually being caused by dropped valves, not broken timing belts. (The timing belts are probably breaking after the valve drops). I made my rant on this in the other timing related thread for rios here....

If this was the case the valves would drop even after the timing belt was replaced, no?
This is not happening.
Solution? Replace the belt at the required intervals as in the maintence schedule. This holds true for all makes with an interference engine, not only KIA's.
