Featured Replies

Gary, access is the only real issue with it otherwise should be pretty much the same.

easy to do. i used to do SVX 60K/120K service at my shop for $350

the EG33 is technically an interference engine like all DOHC's, but it has cam gears that keep timing along with the belt. so unless you destroy the cam gears (very unlikely) your fine if your snap the belt.
