• Idler wear that can create belt tracking problems
• Timing marks that no longer align during service
• Need for a complete timing belt component replacement during scheduled maintenance

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions and verify timing marks before final assembly. Confirm engine configuration and application notes before installation, especially for interference engine service where the cam tensioner hydraulic assembly is excluded.
