Default Checking timing belt

Ok, all I want to do is check my timing belt's condition. Do I just remove the timing belt plastic cover in front? Do I need to remove anything else to get the cover off ?

Remove the air box and the AFM. Just unplug the AFM, loosen the J-tube clamp and leave the AFM bolted to the airbox. Remove the 10mm bolts on the front cover and with a few wiggles it will come right out.

the only way to know if it's "OK" is to change it out!

When in doubt, change it out. (and look at the seals, rollers, waterpump, etc too)

HI,

theres 3 things I would/ have done

1> look where the distributor is, there should be a little plastic cober where the belt is, pull this off, and check

2> yes remove the 6 bolts and remove the cover this gives good indication as to both belts

3> if you can (its quite easy) remove the rocker/cam cover, and exaine the chain and plastic peice underneath it
