After a fresh timing belt installation on a 2.2, is it normal for them to break-in a bit. I noticed some wear on the edge of the belt and some "belt fiber-dust" in the freshly cleaned timing belt cover.

 

Thanks!

I'm really not an authority on the EJ22, but what you're describing sounds OK to me. As long as there isn't a ton of wear or dust, or any weird noises, it should be normal.

It seems to be on the outside edge. Not bad really, but noticeable. About 500 miles since installation.

Is there any noticeable noises?

I would imagine the belt would break in some. Typical of any moving part, really.
