Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system layout before installation, especially on Ford Probe applications noted for interference engines. Inspect related timing components, including tensioners, idlers, and seals, during service. Align timing marks on the engine components carefully, since this belt does not include timing marks. Confirm belt routing and tension to the vehicle service specification before returning the engine to operation.
