Technical Specifications and Features

This timing belt component kit features a black HSN (Hydrogenated Nitrile Synthetic) belt known for its resistance to heat and wear. The belt has 137 curvilinear (ii) teeth, which provide optimal engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. The spring-type tensioner maintains proper belt tension throughout the engine's operating range, reducing the risk of slippage or premature wear. The kit does not include timing marks on the belt, so proper alignment during installation is critical.
