my z only had timing belt 10000 miles ago by previous owner. but seein as i've been weiding in to the mountain of to do's on the car i thought might as well do timing belt for piece of mind. anyway the point is, must have been lucky as i've been driving it with a seazed tensioner.i'm gonna treat is as a sign that the car wants to live. project still coasting along nicely then!

Nice catch matey :) saved yourself a lot of possible grief there.

Well done, you can't be too careful :-)

Very lucky mate

Lucky escape indeed, i would always change the cambelt if unknown or on someone elses say so, regardless for peace of mind. Will save a fortune and possible headache in the future.
