Installation Notes

Verify engine configuration before ordering, especially on 1992-1995 Suzuki Sidekick and 1994-1995 Geo Tracker models noted for 8-valve engines. Confirm belt width, pitch length, and cog count against the original part before installation. Timing belt service should be performed with the engine timed correctly and all related components inspected for wear.
