Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm engine code, camshaft drive layout, and belt dimensions before installation. Replace the belt only after verifying pulley condition, tensioner operation, and timing mark alignment. Because this is a critical engine timing component, installation should follow the vehicle service procedure for the specific Ford Contour or Mercury Mystique application.
