Angry 01 civic timing belt snapped again fu Q wtf is wrong???

i was driving down to mcdonalds to get some food and the car suddenly stalled and made a chorockpokoclickity clacking noise. i was so upset. i didnt know what the hell to do. then i was like " i should take the valve cover off" later when i had the car towed home, i removed the valve cover and there was a split on the belt and a part where it snapped. this is 3000 miles after i got a new head because i have bent valves before. that was when i had the warranty still. then the warranty is over the limit since i had the car for more than 3 years now. now what the hell can i do? i think d17s are now pissing me off. i say time for a k20 since i know a guy in tampa selling the hasport mounts for cheap. i say fu q to all d17s and now i just need to cool off now and or have a beer. man i hope i can get my hands on a k20 soon because this d17 p.o.s will never be in the engine bay again. sorry i just had to vent...


to d17s

Check the pully alignment and the tension. A misaligned pulley or incorrect belt tension will munch up the belt in no time.

Wait a sec...... Did Honda fix it the last time? If they did, there should be a warranty on that work. Though, if it is only a 90 day warranty........
Damn.
