My friend just had her timing belt replaced last week. She took a road trip (250 miles maybe) this weekend and on her way into work this morning, she threw a rod. What are the chances these two things are related? She talked to the mechanic (same one she's been going to for years) and he tells her that the rod was in the rear of the engine and the timing belt doesn't look to have been the cause. If it's not the timing belt, could something else in the replacement of the timing belt have cause the thrown rod?
Threw a rod....
