Ouch. 120K is really getting up there without changing the timing belt. I think the service manual used to recommend 112K however many owners were getting breakage around that time so the general consensus was once you pass 100K to start looking for a shop.

Hope everything goes well with the repair, now i'm afraid to drive till I get mine replaced...
