Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and exact vehicle application before installation. This TB345K1 kit does not include a water pump, so inspect the cooling system separately if water pump service is being performed. Because this is an interference engine application on certain listed vehicles, follow factory timing procedures carefully and confirm all timing marks and tension settings during assembly.
