• Scheduled 60,000-mile timing belt replacement intervals

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt kit at the recommended service interval and verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks before engine start-up. This kit does not include a water pump. Because the listed applications are interference engines, correct timing alignment is critical during installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and engine configuration before ordering.
