Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The timing belt in this kit is constructed from HSN material, known for its durability and resistance to wear. It features 201 teeth with a modified curvilinear (iii) tooth profile, which ensures smooth engagement with engine components. The belt is black in color and measures 30 mm in width, providing a precise fit for the specified vehicle models. The included hydraulic tensioner maintains optimal belt tension, improving engine timing accuracy and reducing the risk of belt slippage or premature wear.

The kit contains two components: the timing belt and the hydraulic tensioner. No idlers or water pumps are included. Timing marks are not present on the belt, so proper alignment during installation is critical. The package comes with detailed installation instructions to assist professional mechanics and experienced DIYers.
