if there are any obvious wear marks or tears. But, usually timing belts don't show when they are about to break, they just will. If you don't know, might as well replace it.

Dont take the chance change it and the water pump while you have it that far torn down, might as well replace the Alt. belt, A/C belt, and P/S if you have these as well. A well maintained motor is priceless!!
