Message	Usually it's not the belt that's showing age, but the idlers. The bearings are usually fairly loose, I've had one that was beginning to come apart. Also to consider are the cam seals. They don't seem to like sitting. -Dan "Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
