Hi guys, appreciate your help in previous posts!

got a question with regards to my celicas belts.

1) what is the difference between the CAM belt and Timing belt? is it the same thing?

2) Also the belt that i have - i do not know when it was changed. I have a full service history from the last 10 years on my 97 Celica ST. But i do not see anywhere it mentioned about the cam belt being changed. I do not want to take chances and screwing up my ride. The belt on inspections looks new - and the thread is deep, but i amn know mechanic so dont know the deal.

Thanks!!

1. they're the same

2. as long as its not cracked or looks dry rotted i'd say you're ok for now
