Some motors are interference engines, some are non-interference. If you have an interference engine, a blown timing belt will destroy the engine. If you have a non-interference engine, you'll have issues but replacing the timing belt will fix it right away.



Timing belts rarely last more than 100k miles and most are intended to last about 60-80k. If you're going to almost 200k already, you may have a timing chain. These usually last much MUCH longer. Are you sure you have a belt and not a chain?
