Need alittle advice

[bosn]

I do not know when my belts were replaced last. I plan on going through the entire engine this smmer, Can I inspect the belts and be sure of their remaining life span? I will replace them this summer without a second thought but just want to be sure they'll make it that long. If I have to replace them now they sould be good after I go through the rest of the engine at a later time. Any advice is good advice.

50,000 mile change the belt. ruel of thumb..

Make sure you change your timing belt every 40K miles. It's a lot cheaper than rebuilding the engine.

Ya 40 is a good safe number.

i cant remember what the actual service manual said but i do remember that "fords" recommendations were alot different that Mitsubishi. and i think mitsu's was sooner than later like ford was....and it was the same belt.

yea pull the covers and like any othe belt if there are threads wearing or cracks in it like its dry rotted than its past due. good luck
