[V8] help me please!!!

[Korn, Bob]

Visual inspections are meaningless.  Go by the mileage since last
change.   If you don't know, change it now.   Much cheaper than a valve
job.

I am not an expert on this subject, I have just followed this list for 
some years as an owner of a 1990 V8. .....

Based on all that I have read, I would not rely on a visual inspection 
of a Tbelt.  It would seem that a visual does not actually provide much 
information as far as I have read.  FWIW...
