Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine build date and application notes before installation, especially on 2006-2007 Hyundai and Kia models with date-specific coverage. Inspect the timing belt, tensioner, and related pulleys at the same time, since timing system wear often occurs across multiple components. Confirm the pulley orientation and belt routing match the smooth/backside contact design.
