Product Details

Continental’s Black Series line focuses on timing service components engineered for demanding engine maintenance intervals. CK304LK1 is built around the timing belt service on select Subaru Forester, Impreza, Outback, and Legacy models, plus the Saab 9-2X, with fitment tied to interference engine applications. The kit uses a 223-tooth belt with a 1.06-inch top width and 70.24-inch length, along with a metal-impeller water pump and matched tensioning components to support proper timing system service.

For buyers searching for a Subaru timing belt kit with water pump, Subaru Forester timing belt kit, or Saab 9-2X timing belt service parts, CK304LK1 provides the core components needed for a complete timing system refresh. The Continental Black Series CK304LK1 is also referenced by OE-style part numbers such as 13028-AA181 and 21111-AA007.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Worn or cracked timing belt material
• Noisy, loose, or aging tensioner components
• Water pump leakage or reduced coolant circulation
• Timing service intervals due on interference engines
• Alignment concerns during belt replacement when timing marks are needed

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and vehicle fitment before installation, especially on Subaru Forester, Impreza, Outback, Legacy, and Saab 9-2X applications. Because this is an interference engine timing service, correct camshaft and crankshaft alignment is critical. Replace related timing components during the same service interval and follow factory torque and timing procedures.

Quality Assurance

Continental Black Series timing components are built as OEM-quality replacement parts for engine service work. CK304LK1 is specified with matched timing system components and a metal-impeller water pump to support a complete timing belt service on the listed applications.
