If the belt does not show any kind of wear, just keep it.
Kind regards,

Finally got around to replacing the timing belt tensioner on this rig.
Following the replacement, however, the cilcking sound seems to have gotten
louder. Which is all good, I guess. The old tensioner, when I got down to
it, was leaking more oil from around the seal and was barely providing any
apparent additional tension than what the belt does as attached to the
various sprokets. It was apparently allowing the right amount of tension to
keep the clicking from getting any louder.
I do notice that when I drive the car harder, the clicking goes away. But,
when it presents itself, it is much louder than before I put the new
tensioner into the vehicle.
However, the complete rocker shaft, HLA, and tensioner job now has been
completed. PHEW!!!
