True, how does the Civic crowd get lost here in Accord land? Forums are not even next to each other*shrug*.

DENNO a few things could be causing your belt to snap.

Incorrect installation. Too much tension on the belt will put undo wear on it. Timing belts just need the slack taken out, they do not stretch like V or serpentine belts.
Failing water pump or tensioner pulley placing stress on the belt causing undo stress.
Subpar components, belts/tensioner pulley/waterpump, that are failing cause they are crap.
