123911 - CRP - Timing Belt Kit - 30758260

Product Description

We recommend timing belt, tensioner bearing and idler bearing replacement every 70,000 miles.

Timing belt failure on these engines usually results in catastrophic engine damage. This is because they are non-clearance engines and belt failure means the valves will hit the tops of pistons.

Contrary to popular belief, the most common failed components are the tensioner and idler bearings. It is actually more rare for the belt on these models. A failed bearing will shred a timing belt in a hurry.

We also highly recommend replacing the water pump when replacing timing belt components. The timing belt drives the water pump and water pumps are considered a common failure component. (Water pumps are sold separately. See recommended products.)

This is a pre-packaged ContiTech kit and includes:

• Timing belt
• Idler pulley
• Tensioner pulley assembly
• Tensioner bushing

*Does not include hydraulic tensioner unit.
