[alfa] Timing Belt Longevity

[alfadoc@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

For what it's worth (and not that I ever advised anyone to follow my example) 
my personal timing belt "record" on a 164 was 72,000 miles. I was too busy 
driving it every day to change the belt. This is the same car that at 152,000 
miles still has the original starter, alternator, A/C compressor etc etc and 
has never had the heads off. Oil consumption 1/2 quart every 1000 miles, 
compression 150-160 psi in every cylinder. Without a doubt, the best car I've 
ever owned!
