I have a rubber belt on an 8-valve B230FD. FAQ says interval is 100k.
http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/EngineSealsBeltsVent.htm#TimingBeltChart
My belt was replaced about 60-70k back, I inspected it and the condition is fine. I'd expect it to run for another 30-40k but obviously I wanted to replace it as a preventative measure - since I was in there anyway...
I have a Canadian-Built 940 with the original engine - no chinese mechanical parts that I know of. The tool fit my pulley just fine. It locked into the crank nicely and I was able to secure it firmly to the tensioner stud.
I think the issue is that the steel simply wasn't up to snuff.
Your fitment may be due to wear on the original casting. IPD noted that they quit selling the part due to fitment issues
