Anyway to test Timing Belt before replacing it? 850 1995

I would expect that most failure modes are not going to be evidenced by visual inspection. The only way to really check it would be with a stress/strain gauge, calipers for dimensions, density testers, etc. I have looked at several replaced belts, and they "appear" fine. Volvo's recommended replacement at 70,000 is probably within four standard-deviations of not failing, but like the other guy said, why risk being part of the fifth sigma?!
