Message	I was able to get all timing belt covers off to exposed the timing belt and tensioner but have no idea how to go about seeing if these parts need replacing. The Tensioner looks ok to me but once again i don't know what a bad tensioner looks like thats why im asking you Guru's out there. Nothing gets by you guys lol. Also belt looks ok to me but no clue how to go about checking it ( the white lint on the belt is not from the belt itself). Well on to the pictures and if you see anything wrong please bring it to my attention as you might be saving me from future disaster! Thanks in advance
