What This Kit Helps Address

  • Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
  • Noisy or rough-running timing components
  • Worn idlers or tensioner-related belt tracking issues
  • Preventive timing system service on interference engines
  • Restoring proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, VIN details, and model year before installation, especially on Subaru Outback applications with VIN 4th digit B and the 2003 Subaru Impreza built Sept. 1, 2002 and newer. Replace the full timing system during service to reduce repeat labor and confirm all timing marks are aligned before engine start-up. Use the included installation tool where applicable and follow the vehicle service procedure for belt tensioning and component setup.
