Ok so,
I was swapping out the old turbo to put a new one in, when I figured hell I'll just do the timing while I'm at it. The previous owner said it was done around 120k, but I don't trust him at ALL.
So I planned to pull the front end apart tonight, and order the kit tomorrow so I could just slap it all in when I got it.
Then I noticed that everything in there was clean, and looked pretty new. I don't know if there is any way of telling how fresh a belt is, but it looked pretty good, minus some rust dust.
As you'll see, the tensioners and everything all seem to be new. The main concern I had was that the walkthrough I was reading said that there should be NO slack on the long side of the belt, I added pic's of that too.
Opinions? Should it be ok, or should I spend the $300 + my time to do it to be safe.
