Detailed Description

SKP SKT186 is an engine balance shaft belt used in engines equipped with a balance shaft drive. This type of belt helps maintain proper synchronization within the engine’s rotating assembly, which is important during timing-related service. It is a fitment-based replacement for 1990-2002 Honda Accord, 1992-2001 Honda Prelude, 1997-1999 Acura CL, 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis, and 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey applications. If you are replacing a worn balance shaft belt on a Honda Accord, Honda Prelude, or Acura CL, SKT186 provides a cataloged replacement option for those engine configurations.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Cracked or worn balance shaft belt material.
• Noise from a deteriorated engine drive belt.
• Service replacement during timing system maintenance.
• Loss of proper balance shaft drive synchronization.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation, since balance shaft belt applications can vary by engine family. Replace the belt during scheduled engine service when access to the timing components is already available. Confirm the part number SKT186 against the vehicle’s cataloged fitment before ordering.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement parts are cataloged for specific vehicle applications and are identified by part number SKT186 for fitment verification.
