webxfx Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hello all, I'm still new here and just bought a 96 GP GT, it came from a dealer so wasn't able to find out the last time it was replaced. To me, the timing belt looks great - but I don't know what it should look like when NEW - if I was to post some good pictures would you guys be able to tell me what you think.

webxfx Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 One thing I can add - is there where some fibers under the cover when I took it off, but the belt did look fine to me... is it normal to see some fibers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webxfx Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 cool - thanks for everyones input, so I'm guessing the few hairs inside the cover are normal? on that post by CS1138 - is that belt only about 1/4" thick? is that what happenes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes a few hairs is normal. What happened to CS1138 is excessive wear from not changing it. I bet his belt was original, and I think his car has around 90k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 John, is that a desk lamp you where using?! Yes. Clipped onto the hood strut or the catch it worked very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
