Default Need to change timing belt with cam swap?

Does this need to be done, or can you get by with the old one? Engine has 87000 on it.

With that many miles on your car it would be a very good idea to replace the chain especially since you'll be doing a cam swap it will be easy to swap out the chains.

Good luck with your cam swap <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> and take your time with everything

I swapped out the set for a double roller setup, only $150 or so.
