what does original timing belt look like? ...markings that is
i have a 1999 Honda Accord LX, I4, automatic, sedan.
i recently changed the timing belt, and the timing belt that was there had markings of Honda and Gates. the main reason i changed it was that i didn't know if it had been changed before. so i was just curious what the original belt should look like, so i can know if this was a replacement or original.

If I were to guess, its a replacement that was done by Honda, most cars with enough miles to be worrying about doing a timing belt you would no longer be able to read the markings on them. And no aftermarket timing belt is going to say Honda on it.

L2R, the t-blet that came off of my 5g with 226k miles on it still said Honda all over it
. We replaced it with a Gates belt, which is about as good as an aftermarket belt is going to get.
