It isn't frayed on the sides or showing any signs of wear. It has no cracks going across the belt, or running along it that I can see. I keep checking for where the join must be (I figure it must have one), but again it looks perfect.

I'm not trying to be a total cheapskate, but it seems in such good condition I don't see the point.

Am I missing something? Any advice gratefully received.
belts much cheaper than a wrecked engine change it
