You don't
Replace the timing belt at the recommended interval.
If the engine is apart for other service any measurable wear requires replacement
The sceduled maintenece for the timing belt on the V6 is 60k miles. Timing belts don't usually have symptoms before they break. If you an take a look at it, you can inspect the teeth on the belt to see if there is any chunking, or other visible wear. Other than that, it can fail at anytime.
The timing belt service intervals on a 3.2 L V6 1998 Holden Rodeo is about every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. This is only the time to inspect. The timing belt does not need service at any time unless it is showing wear or breaks.
Hello, According to the Scheduled Maintenance Interval chart in the Acura RSX Owner's Manual, the timing chain (the RSX utilizes a timing chain instead of a timing belt) should be replaced at the 97,500 mile interval. Although it is recommended to inspect the timing chain every 30,000 mile tune-up/service to look for signs of uneven wear, warping, etc.
It doesn't have a timing belt...it has a metal timing chain...these do not standardly wear out for a very long time.
There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
chains do not wear out as fast as belts. they also give you more accurate timing because they don't stretch as much as a belt will.

No, this engine uses a timing chain, not a belt. With normal oil changes the rest of the engine will wear out before the chain.
The timing belt on the b6 & k8 motors should be changed every 60-80k miles depending on the wear of the belt. You can check the wear yourself by removing the valve cover on the b6 model where as the k8 is somewhat more difficult and will require removing the timing cover. If there are any nicks, frays, or cracks the belt should be replaced.
Timing belts last about 70,000 miles. You should change the water pump while you're in there; Honda likes to drive them off the timing belt, they wear out about as fast as the timing belt does, and since you're in there anyway...
That's an easy one! There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
Replace it when it wears out. Inspect it regularly for cracks and wear.
