you just need to have a way to make sure you see the whole belt. either marking it with a china marker or watching the pulley position and timing marks.
if someone can teach me how to post a pic i have the new diagram for the timing belt on the 1.6 twin cam including timing marks etc etc (non ecotec)

FASTEST AVEO IN ONTARIO
Tried to inspect my belt the other day. I removed the engine cover but couldnt really see the teeth, except for a small spot that seemed ok. The outside of the belt was fair looking. No rips or tears or damage from what I could see, so I guess I'm fine for now, as I cant afford to get it changed for at least the next 10k miles.
All this talk about when to replace the belt eventually leads to the question: What happens in the case of it breaking? Or, more specifically, is this an interference engine?
I've shredded a timing belt on a metro and luckily it was a SOHC non-interference engine, but what about the Aveo? Do the valves cross paths?
