Detailed Description

The Continental Pro Series Plus line is built for timing service that requires coordinated replacement of the belt, water pump, tensioning components, and seals.

• Correcting belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
• Servicing tensioner-related noise or belt tracking concerns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. Because this is an interference engine application, maintain crankshaft and camshaft timing alignment throughout the service procedure. Use the vehicle-specific timing marks and service procedure for the exact model being repaired, and inspect related pulleys and sealing surfaces before reassembly.
