Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, belt tooth count, pitch length, and profile before installation. Because this belt has no timing marks, timing alignment should be confirmed using the engine’s service procedure and reference marks. Inspect related components such as tensioners, idlers, and seals during timing service to avoid repeat labor.
