When I rebuilt my 1275 for the Bugeye I converted to belt drive for
timing. Keeps the timing spot on. It occurs to me that like other cars
the timing belt has a limited life and must be changed. To be honest the
instructions did not say when this should occur as far as I can remember.
To be fair, the rebuilt engine has only a little over 3K miles on it, but
the question arises about valve interference if the belt breaks. To my
knowledge, I don't think so, but I have been proven wrong before. Anyone
know if a 1275 would be an interference engine if the belt broke?
