^^ You really should, if it breaks your going to need a new motor.
Lucky you changed it. I guess the conditions are harsh where you are so it corroded faster.

Yah if mine broke for me itd be a good excuse for a port and polished head, polished valves, and some nice valve springs. But im not saying id like my timing belt to break before i change it, i would just make the best of it if it broke and i bent some valves.

it does look bad but in all reality the steel line inside of it would have held up for a pretty good amount of time.
im still trying to figure out why they suggest 60k miles in the us and around 30 elsewhere.
