The belts have widths of 24 mm and 16 mm, with 113 and 70 teeth respectively, tailored to the specific engine requirements of the Honda Accord, Odyssey, Prelude, and Isuzu Oasis models. The kit does not include timing marks on the belts, so careful alignment during installation is necessary. Installation instructions are provided to assist with proper setup.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or cracked timing belts in Honda Accord, Odyssey, Prelude, and Isuzu Oasis
