Has anyone ever saw a timing belt split down the middle like this? Any thoughts on what would cause it? The belt actually stayed in one piece before I cut it off. Just looking for pointers as I obviously don't want to deal with this again. It's definitely a cheap belt, not kevlar like I plan on installing next. According to service records it only lasted around 30k miles. The belt bound up and chewed all of the teeth off at the crank pulley. Am I better off just pulling the head to check valves or should I put a new belt on and do a compression test?
