• Loss of accurate valve timing
• Service interval replacement on listed 8-valve engines
• Timing system wear from aging belt components

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions during installation and verify engine code and vehicle fitment before service. The belt does not include timing marks, so proper alignment of crankshaft and camshaft timing references is required during installation. Replace timing components according to the vehicle service procedure and inspect related timing system parts before reassembly.
