Detailed Description

Dayco 95278 is an engine timing belt engineered for precise synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft in the listed Hyundai applications. Its round tooth profile, controlled tooth pitch, and stable belt dimensions support consistent engagement with the timing system, while the hi-temp construction and highly saturated acryl nitrile material are selected for durability in heat-exposed engine environments. If you are servicing a 1996-1998 Hyundai Elantra or a 1997 Hyundai Tiburon, this timing belt matches the confirmed camshaft fitment for those vehicles.

This part cross-references Gates T278 and ACDelco TB278 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring correct camshaft timing after belt wear or age-related deterioration
• Replacing a cracked, glazed, or stretched timing belt
• Addressing engine noise or timing instability linked to belt condition
• Supporting scheduled timing service on Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Tiburon engines
• Maintaining valve timing accuracy during engine repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, timing marks on the engine components, and belt routing before installation. Because this belt has no timing marks, align the engine using the factory service procedure and inspect related timing components such as tensioners, idlers, and seals during service. Proper tensioning is critical for belt life and accurate valve timing.

Quality Assurance

Dayco timing belts are built for engine service applications that require consistent tooth engagement and heat resistance. Confirm fitment against the vehicle application before installation. Part number 95278 is listed for the confirmed Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Tiburon applications shown above.
