Installation Notes and Tips

Since the belt does not have timing marks, precise alignment of camshaft and crankshaft pulleys is essential. Replace both tensioners included in the kit to maintain proper belt tension and prevent premature wear. Follow manufacturer torque specifications and double-check timing alignment before engine start-up.
