This product line combines multiple valve train components into one kit, simplifying maintenance and ensuring component compatibility. The PP328LK7 kit reflects this approach by including a tensioner, seals, and a metal impeller water pump alongside the timing belt, all engineered to meet the demands of Subaru engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PP328LK7 timing belt kit features a mod-curvilinear tooth profile with 281 teeth, designed to provide smooth and accurate engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. The belt measures 88.50 inches in length and 1.18 inches in top width, ensuring proper fitment and tension. The included tensioner (quantity 5) maintains optimal belt tension to prevent slippage and premature wear. The water pump features a metal impeller, which offers improved durability compared to plastic alternatives, contributing to consistent coolant flow and engine temperature regulation. Four Viton camshaft seals are included to provide superior resistance to heat and oil, reducing the risk of leaks and extending engine component life. Timing marks are present to assist with precise alignment during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of worn or damaged timing belts in Subaru Forester, Impreza, and WRX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevention of engine timing slippage and potential valve damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing coolant leaks or water pump failure with included metal impeller pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolving oil leaks from camshaft seals with durable Viton seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining proper belt tension to avoid premature belt wear or failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the PP328LK7 kit, ensure timing marks are carefully aligned to maintain engine timing accuracy.
