Components are sourced from leading OEM manufacturers and engineered to meet or exceed industry standards for fit, performance and durability.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This kit does not include the timing belt tensioner bearing or hydraulic tensioner assembly. It is recommended to use a complete kit with hydraulic tensioner and bearing when carrying out a timing belt replacement, especially on higher mileage or performance engines.

SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

Because labour makes up a significant portion of timing belt replacement cost, best practice is to replace all related wear components at the same time. Professional technicians typically replace the timing belt, idlers, tensioner, water pump and associated seals in one service to help maintain engine reliability and reduce the risk of timing-related engine damage.
