you shouldn't need to replace it if the timing is good and it is not broken

COMPLETELY FALSE!! If it is a belt, you better change it at the recommend factoiry interval or it may break and DESTROY the engine...a chain is more robust and usually outlives the rest of the engine compnents,.

Don’t know what crumbob is talking about... if a timing belt “breaks”, your engine is done for. If your car uses a timing belt, change it ever 60k - 100k.
