Timing Belt Change???
 
I had my timing belt & water pump changed in 1998 at 95,000 miles. I now
have 148,000 miles on a car I barely use. Am I still good intil I hit
180,000 miles to get it changed???

IN addition to mileage, there is also a time factor. Your belt is 8 years
old. Time for a change. These things deteriorate with time.

Nope. 105K or seven years, whichever comes first.

Re: Timing Belt Change???
 
ok, so this what I am looking at:

Radiator repair
timing belt & possible water pump
oil pan repair

Is this all worth it? The car is a 1993 Civic with 148,000 miles on
it...what do you think....junk it??

Assuming the rest of the car is in great condition, you'd be a nutter to
junk that car. A new rad and oil pan are relatively affordable and just as
easily replaced.
