Is that the same owners manual that tells me to have the valves
adjusted at 105k or only if they get noisy? Change rear differential
fluid at 90k?

I'm sure most would agree that both those intervals are wrong, and the
valve interval being followed according to the manual could result in a
very expensive repair bill, that's why I was asking about the timing
belt/water pump.
