as long as u want...but it could require rebuilding the top end...or even worse a new engine...i was cheap and didnt replace the belt when i did a w/p and busted it...i learned the hard way and it sucked...i would say dont push the limits...do it at like 100k or even 90...esp if u dont know the history of the belt/water pump...

 

I would also do cam seals...and maybe valve seals

Some one here suggest that I change my T-Belt when I did the t-stat.... I did not... 20 miles after installing the 3" SL and new tires with the Alignment...... It ate about 14" of teeth....

 

9 months and about $1500 bills with a few minor upgrades she was running again...

 

Your choice, Your $$$$....
