it looked kinda hairy, but not REALLY hairy, but the little thingys shaped like cam gears hanging off of the side of th belt kinda freaked me out...

Yeah, i'd get that replaced, especially if its original. Do the idler and tensioner pulleys as well. they last only as long as the belts themselves, and if they go, you're up the creek. I wouldnt reallly drive around with it like that!

I would never drive it like that. That could snap at any given moment, and definatly replace the idler pullies, and the tensioner.

 

Also it could come further off the cogs, and ruin your plastic covers, I've had both happen.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Is there something I'm missing?

 

um...yeah, the fact that the timing belt if hanging 1/8 inch off the cogs is all.

we had it done on Jessicas car for $600 and that was a complete job, with the idler and tensioner

Yah, definately get it done. The belt looks nasty..also..if you DIY...as psyc0matt said..have a FULL weekend free.. XD

Honestly, I would do it. I mean you just bought the car, and you don't want to be stranded right after you bought it right?

 

Preventative maintenance is key.

Timmy would prolly not get stranded..he'd end up calling me to get my lazy ass out to pick him up :lol:

what ray said...

 

anyways, the timing belt will start tomorrow.

 

and while i'm in there, it's getting some Borg/Warner Sure-Sparks, and some 1995 Vintage NOS AC Delco Performance #8's.

Huh...I wasn't aware that Borg/Warner Actually put their name on stuff. Neat.

 

(We do a lot of tooling work for them here...and I haven't figured out what kinda stuff yet...mostly because I'm a computer guy, not a tool/die maker.)
