Default Rollers with timing belt job?

Should I have the rollers replaced with this week's upcoming timing belt/front engine reseal? They aren't that old, the only reason I'm even changing the belt is because of the front engine reseal.

I changed the ones on my brothers car becuase we didn't know the history. I did not change them on my car this time, but will next time - I knew the car had been cared for though.

Change them every other belt change. If there is excess play in the bearing or they roll to 'infinity' then replace them.

Yup, I agree. Some people take the whole "while you're in there" mentality a little too far. But I guess it comes down to how important your money is to you.
