Cloyes B314 Engine Balance Shaft Belt

Cloyes B314 Engine Balance Shaft Belt

The Cloyes B314 engine balance shaft belt is built for specific Hyundai and Kia applications that require a precise timing-drive component. It uses a rubber construction, a circular profile, timing marks, and a 0.50-inch top width to support accurate alignment in interference-engine setups.

Compatible with 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, and 2001-2006 Kia Optima, this belt is engineered for quiet operation and consistent belt tracking. The Cloyes B314 is a direct-fit choice for owners searching for a Hyundai Sonata balance shaft belt or Kia Optima engine balance shaft belt replacement.

Detailed Description

Cloyes B314 is part of Cloyes’ timing drive system lineup and is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. The belt is extensively tested for function and durability, helping maintain proper synchronization in balance shaft applications. For vehicles such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Magentis, Kia Optima, and Hyundai Sonata, correct belt condition is critical in interference-engine service where timing accuracy matters.

This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE numbers 2335638010 and 2335638020 for the same application. When replacing the belt, Cloyes recommends inspecting and replacing the belt tensioner and belt idler as well, since those components help maintain belt tension and support.

What This Part Helps Address

• Worn or stretched balance shaft belt
• Timing mark misalignment during service
• Noise from an aging timing-drive belt
• Loss of proper belt tension in the balance shaft system
• Preventive maintenance on interference-engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify application details by year, make, and model before installation. Use the timing marks to confirm alignment during service, and inspect the tensioner and idler for wear before reassembly. Because this part is used in interference-engine applications, accurate timing setup is essential.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing-drive components with advanced materials and tests each part for function and durability. The B314 is built to support reliable service in the specified Hyundai and Kia applications, including 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata and 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe.
