What is the latest views on cam belt brands? I would assume they are no longer available from Ford? What to buy?...Gates?
Who from? Engine builder sourced the last one.

Cheers.
The current one that the engine builder put on shows Optibelt and is 3/4" wide. They all 3/4" wide?
Might as well put a tensioner on it at the same time.

Yes 3/4" wide.
Tensioner is a good idea make sure it is a quality-item.

Glenn you buy the Gates belts direct through Repco and yes they're all 3/4" wide and check the tensioner bearing for play and if it's ok keep using it
