<< timing belts were originally supposed to last the life of the vehicle.
 however, nearly all tuners will recommend to change the timing belt

 too tight.  you should be able to twist the belt 90 degrees if you grab
 it at the middle of its longest span (between the cam sprocket and
 intermediate shaft).  if you can't twist it 90 degrees, it's too tight.
 this can also cause failure of the adjusting sprocket. >>

I believe my Bently says 45degrees for the 16V belt...... am I smokin somethin
that I don't know about???
