the timing belt change interval on the NG900, 9^5, & 9^3 V-6. It's something like 60k miles (but don't quote me on that.)
On rare occasions they *do* break. It happened to a friend's '90 900S at 85k miles. But, like I said, that's an extremely rare occurrence. My 16-valve 900s have gone 214k, 86k (totalled by a semi, so it really doesn't count), and 150k without a chain change.
If he has a question, have him call and ask the dealer in your presence, so you can be sure he's asking the right question.
