Timing system

Timing belt kits
Many car manufacturers recommend changing the entire timing system — belt, belt tensioner units, and idler pulleys — at the same time. It’s the only way to ensure optimum belt tension, which is critical for maintaining optimum engine performance.
 
SKF makes it easy to do a complete timing system job. SKF timing belt kits include belts, tensioners, and idler pulleys that meet or exceed OE specs, plus OE instructions — everything needed to complete the job, all in one box.   
 
Timing belt kits with engine seals
For many high-mileage or hard-working vehicles, it makes sense to replace the engine seals when installing a new timing belt. If the old seals were to begin leaking, the customer would reincur installation labour costs. If oil were to leak onto the belt, another new belt could be required.

SKF timing belt kits with engine seals make preventing these problems easy. The kits contain everything needed to complete the job, including high-quality components that meet or exceed OE specs, such as PTFE seals when applicable. They are also available in a range that covers most popular models, including 90 kits for the Asian car parc.

Timing belt and water pump kits
In cases where the water pump is driven by the timing belt, it’s considered good practice to replace the pump when replacing the belt. Because if the pump fails a few kilometres down the road, most of the labour costs will be incurred by the customer again. When they know the facts, most customers would rather do the complete repair now, rather than risk more costs — and a potential breakdown — later.

SKF timing belt and waterpump kits make doing a complete repair easy. The kits contain the belt, tensioners, and water pump — all the right parts, all in one box, all of them meeting or exceeding original OE specifications.
