What luck is that. So now I need to tear it down for the belt & to look at the cam chain tensioners.

Wow that's incredible. What's the chances of predicting that to happen. I would buy a Power-Ball ticket.

That is ODD, but very good mileage out of a belt

Have you ever checked cam tensioners before?

That'll make it easier to keep track of how many miles you get out of your next belt.

If you have a shifter shaft seal, change it also. It's a $2 part, but you have to tear the inner off to get to it.

Thanks for the comments. I use Amsoil, have changed tensioners & bearings around 50K & going into the cam chest to check the tensioners again (checked them around 75K also). New belt, sprockets front & rear & the shift shaft seal I just did about 5K back when I replaced the lever. Not sure if the belt had ever been changed since I got it around the mid 40K mark. Will ask the previous owner when I see him. Thinking of going to different size sprockets but not sure I want to mess with changing the belt size & all. I like the way it runs, might be happier if I got an overdrive but living in Colorado with the mountains it might be more of a pain than a blessing.
