Technical Description and Features

This engine timing belt features a round tooth profile that promotes smooth engagement with sprockets, reducing wear and noise. The belt’s 187 teeth and 1496 mm effective length are engineered to match exact OEM specifications for vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Montero Sport and Dodge Stratus. The highly saturated acryl nitrile material offers resistance to heat and oil, which is critical for maintaining belt integrity under high-temperature engine conditions. The absence of timing marks indicates that installation requires alignment with engine-specific timing components.
