• Incorrect camshaft timing from belt wear
• Service delays when belt and tensioner are sourced separately
• Timing system refresh on listed Suzuki, Geo, Chevrolet, and Pontiac models

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions during installation and verify engine timing before startup. Because this belt has no timing marks, align components according to the service procedure for the specific engine. Confirm the 4-bolt sprocket mounting note for the 1993 Geo Metro application before ordering or installation.
