Product Details

The Continental Pro Series Plus line focuses on timing service kits built around OEM-quality components for engine maintenance. PP279-280LK1 is configured for the Acura RL and includes the major wear items typically replaced during a timing belt service, helping restore proper camshaft and water pump operation in one service interval. The kit is specified with a 60,000-mile timing kit change interval and uses a metal impeller water pump construction.

This part cross-references Honda/Acura OE numbers such as 13440-P5A-004 and 14510-P5A-003 for the same application. Continental PP279-280LK1 is a practical choice when servicing the timing system on 1996-2004 Acura RL models.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or aged timing belt during scheduled maintenance
• Addressing coolant leaks from the water pump area
• Correcting belt noise, tension issues, or timing component wear
• Servicing camshaft seals during a timing belt job
• Restoring timing system reliability on an interference-engine Acura RL

Installation Notes and Tips

Follow factory service procedures for timing alignment, belt routing, and tensioner setup before starting the job. Because this application is an interference engine, verify cam and crank timing marks carefully during installation and rotate the engine by hand after assembly to confirm proper operation. Replace related wear items during the timing service and inspect the cooling system for leaks before returning the vehicle to service.
