Installation Overview

Replacing a timing belt is a critical maintenance task that requires precision. The Dayco KTB967 kit simplifies this process with pre‑aligned pulleys and tensioners, reducing the risk of misalignment. A typical installation sequence includes:

1. Remove Old Belt: Detach the existing timing belt and note the camshaft and crankshaft positions.
2. Install New Pulleys: Mount the supplied pulleys onto the camshaft(s) and crankshaft, ensuring correct alignment with the engine block.
3. Attach Tensioner: Secure the tensioner to maintain proper belt tension during operation.
4. Install Water Pump (if included): Fit the new pump onto the crankshaft pulley and seal it with the supplied gasket.
5. Thread New Belt: Route the timing belt around all pulleys, matching the original cam‑crank alignment marks.
6. Tighten Fasteners: Use a torque wrench to secure bolts to manufacturer specifications.
7. Check Timing: Verify that the engine’s timing marks line up correctly before starting the vehicle.

Benefits of Choosing Dayco KTB967

• OEM Quality Assurance – Manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring reliability and longevity.
• All‑Inclusive Design – Eliminates the need for additional parts or aftermarket components.

Maintenance Tips After Installation

Once the new timing belt kit is installed, follow these guidelines to maintain optimal engine health:

• Check Belt Tension Regularly: Inspect tension after the first few hundred miles and adjust if necessary.
• Replace Water Pump Gasket Periodically: Even with a new pump, gasket wear can occur; replace it during routine coolant flushes.
• Monitor Engine Performance: Look for any irregularities such as knocking or misfires that could indicate timing issues.
• Adhere to Service Intervals: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule for future belt replacements.
