Default Timing Belt Servicing

What would you suggest, 90k or 100k tune up on your timing belt. I did mine first at round 60k, but I am used to hondas so it's every 60 and 100k. Thanks for the help guys

I believe the book calls for 90k, I did mine along with Water pump, Coolant flush, spark plugs at 100k.

Book says 90k for major service w/ timing belt. You can go 100k without any problems though.

Probably might need a flush of the lines, cause it might be air in the system. Hopefully that fixes it.
