    replace timing belt?

    I need to do a cam seal. The belt is less than 3 months old, would it be bad to skip replacing the belt?

          Given the costs incurred if the belt were to break after being reused, it make no sense to me not to use a new belt. The belt is cheap compared to possible costs.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              Once again, J is right on. Belts are cheap, Engines are NOT. Play it safe playa.
