Message	so I wouldn't say it's completely just change it and leave it. I know on my 240z it slipped once. But I do agree they are a lot more reliable than a timing belt and I would rather have that extra reliability than 5 HP more because of rotational mass. ____________________________________________________________________________ ~The question is not how far will you go...the question is do you possess the constitution and depth of faith to go as far as is needed.
