Detailed Description

Cloyes B245 is an engine timing belt engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements for timing drive service. It is designed for camshaft applications in vehicles such as the 1995-2005 Dodge Neon, 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, 1995-2001 Plymouth Neon, 2001-2003 Dodge Stratus, and related Chrysler and Plymouth models listed in the fitment data. The belt’s specific dimensions, tooth count, and timing marks support accurate installation and consistent valve timing in interference-engine applications where correct synchronization is critical. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 4667606) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Cracked, worn, or stretched timing belt material
• Incorrect camshaft timing from belt wear or age
• Engine noise caused by deteriorated timing drive components
• Starting issues related to timing synchronization problems
• Valve timing concerns in interference-engine service

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the belt tensioner and belt idler during timing belt service, since these components help maintain proper belt tension and tracking. Use the timing marks during installation and verify alignment against the vehicle-specific service procedure. Confirm exact application by year, make, model, and camshaft position before installation.
