Yeah, the mechanic mentioned the timing belt, though I'm having a hard time imagining how that replacement alone could cost $800-$900, hence the remark in my post.

I will keep in mind your near-miss with disaster on your timing belt replacement when 90,000 miles rolls around for me. Thanks for mentioning it.

It's a very labor-intensive process, requiring removing pretty much everything in front of the engine. The belt itself alone is $150 or so.

So it's like multiple items after all! Pretty scary. Thanks for the information.
