Change timing belt?
Hi,
Do I need to change the timing belt in the '92 SC400 if I have 29.5K miles on the car? What other things should I look at that might need to be replaced? Thanks!

change all your fluids, filters and rubber components under the car first, then inspect your timing and serp. belt for cracks or wear...
30K original miles on a 92 thats awesome

30k on that 92 sc 400 OMG! Keepin it original! Rubber dry rots pretty much anywhere so around 5 years or so in your case. Check for cracks on the serpentine belt and timing belt. Fluids also degrade over time so change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles with basic oil. 2 years with coolant,2 years with transmission and power steering fluid. Its a 16 year old car so either way do all the fluids lol. Your plugs,wires and dual distributors are okay. Make sure the tires on you car are at least 4 years old at the max. There is a risk of inner dry rot that you can't see and the tires separate when going around highway speeds. Air filter ,but that is not such a important item compared to the other items. Sweet that you have a low mileage SC take care of it!
