Detailed Product Description

The Continental Pro Series Plus timing belt kit PP249LK1 provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining engine timing and cooling in compatible Nissan and INFINITI vehicles. The timing belt is engineered with 133 mod-curvilinear teeth, ensuring smooth engagement and accurate timing synchronization. Its 0.98-inch top width and 49.87-inch length are tailored to fit specific engine configurations in the Frontier, Pathfinder, QX4, and Xterra models.

The included water pump features a metal impeller, which offers improved resistance to wear and corrosion compared to plastic alternatives. This contributes to consistent coolant flow and engine temperature regulation. The kit also contains two Viton camshaft seals, known for their chemical resistance and longevity, helping to prevent oil leaks and maintain engine integrity.

Additional components such as the tensioner and seals are designed to work in unison with the timing belt and water pump, ensuring optimal engine valve train performance and reducing the risk of timing-related failures.
