What components are included in this kit?

Why is a timing belt kit important?
The timing belt synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring the engine's valves open and close at the correct times. Failure can lead to severe internal engine damage.
Can I install this kit myself?
Timing belt replacement is a complex procedure requiring specialized tools and knowledge. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure correct fitment and prevent potential engine damage.
What is PowerGrip™ technology?
PowerGrip™ is a Gates technology focused on providing durable and reliable timing belt performance, often featuring advanced materials and construction for increased lifespan and performance under stress.
How often should a timing belt be replaced?
Replacement intervals vary by vehicle manufacturer and model. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended replacement schedule. It is typically based on mileage or time.
What are some common cross-reference part numbers for this kit?
Common cross-references include BLUE PRINT ADJ137307, CONTINENTAL CTAM CT974K1, and DAYCO KTB406, among others.
Troubleshooting
Engine misfires or runs rough after installation.
Verify the timing marks were aligned correctly during installation. Re-check belt tensioner adjustment. Ensure all related components were installed properly.
Noise coming from the timing belt area.
Check the tensioner pulley for proper operation and secure mounting. Ensure the belt is not rubbing against any engine components. Re-verify installation alignment.
Belt appears worn or damaged prematurely.
Ensure the correct belt was installed and that no fluid leaks (oil, coolant) are present in the engine bay, as these can degrade the belt material. Check for any obstructions or misalignment causing undue stress on the belt.
