The timing belt was done at like 96k, almost 7 years ago. It's getting close, no doubt, but it appears to be in good condition and I really doubt it will snap. I figure I'll probably see how we look on paying off all this sh** by next tax season then do the full Aisin kit with water pump, tensioners, etc. When I bought my 06 MDX in 2018, it was still on the original timing belt at 133k. A friend of mine changed the belt, said it looked great surprisingly.With the V8 the one thing you don't to wait until it breaks to fix is the timing belt, it should be replaced every 90,000 miles as regular preventative maintenance, also replace the water pump at the same time since it's buried in there with the timing belt, all the work to do the belt would have to be redone just to replace the water pump if it goes bad and the leaking coolant will deteriorate the new timing belt.
If the timing belt breaks because it wasn't done it will 99% of the time totally destroy the engine when valves hit the pistons!
At 190,000 miles it's past due to do the timing belt if it hasn't been done recently!!
If it breaks that quick on a Toyota engine that's not known for breaking them I'd be very surprised... And pissed!
