timing belt tracking and cam gears

does anyone know if there is a tolerance for the tracking of the timing belt across the cam gears? I removed the cover and there seems to be a millimeter of movement as the belt spins.

Huh? Is the belt tracking off the cams? If not, don't worry about it. I wouldn't worry unless the belts are coming off the cams.

I am just 1 of those people who really worries about timing belts. I mean come on it's a 40 dollar piece of rubber responsible for a 2000 dollar valve job.

What's your option? If the belt is due replacement go ahead and change everything. If it's not due you can post a video and get more comments.
