After 8 years and 4 months, with 162,000 original owner miles, still have original timing belt. At about 148,000, while changing valve-cover gasket, it still looked brand new and someone on this site a pic of one at about 120,000 and it looked ready to split. Don't know why that is. Also, around that time, the "experts" were saying 130,000 is Ford recomendation.
Guess it gets expensive if it goes before routine maint.
