The old timing belt's condition. It was not too bad at all.

The pulleys and tensioners look pretty good and bearings are still spinning smoothly without much indication of corrosion or rust. They went right back in.

The original, 20-something thousand mile belt. It looks pretty good. You can also see the paint markings to help spot TDC easier.

The original timing belts are revealed. Tension looks good and condition of the belts are fine at a glance. I could have buttoned everything back up at this point, but I didn't want to ride on my luck any longer.

The timing belt is rotated till all the TDC markings lined up, then marked with a paint marker for easy reference.

The pulleys and tensioners begin coming out - and fortunately all feels pretty nice and fresh.

There are no signs of rust or corrosion, so back in they go for another 40k miles of duty

The old timing belt. Again, it looks good with only some surface glazing on the smooth side due to contact with the tensioners.
