I did see that - you knew you didn't have a belt. That's good. I had a timing chain break while I was driving but that was ... I don't remember the mileage, but we bought the car at 80,000 miles and drove it to 200,000. I guess it was about 150,000 miles. I learned I should change it every 80,000 miles and that I could have damaged things by its breaking while the engine was on. Ok. I guess I got lucky.

Oh yeah, I learned about the timing belt with our older cars. We learned later with the other vehicles that they switched to chains.
But, we did learn that you should change those belts every 60,000 miles, before they break, before they do damage. It could have been 80,000 or else, which is probably the case, your vehicle wasn't a Ford.
