Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system specifications before installation, since timing belt applications can vary by engine within the same model line. Inspect related timing components, belt routing, and alignment marks during service, and confirm proper tension after installation. Because this belt does not include timing marks, follow the vehicle service procedure for correct cam and crank synchronization.
