Product Details

This Continental timing belt is engineered to maintain accurate valve timing and dependable engine operation across a broad range of import vehicles. The belt’s construction is intended to resist slippage, reduce premature wear, and maintain consistent performance in demanding temperature conditions. For service work on Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, and Lancer models, as well as Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus applications, TB168 provides the timing belt specification needed for proper engine synchronization.

This part cross-references Bando TB168 and Gates T168 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear from age, heat, and mileage
• Engine timing irregularities caused by belt stretch or tooth wear
• Noise or rough operation related to worn timing components
• Risk of belt slippage in high-load engine operation
• Service intervals requiring replacement of the timing belt

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt at the manufacturer-recommended service interval and inspect related drive components during service. Confirm engine code and application details before installation, especially on interference-engine vehicles such as select Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, and Hyundai Sonata applications. Proper timing alignment is critical during installation because this belt does not include timing marks.

Quality Assurance

Continental Import timing components are built for dependable fit and consistent operation in import vehicle service. The TB168 is specified with a mod-curvilinear tooth profile and application-matched dimensions to support accurate timing performance.
