Camshaft timing belt must be replaced if cylinder head is to be removed or if drive gears, tensioner or coolant pump are to be replaced. Camshaft timing belts must be stored and handled with care. Always store a camshaft timing belt on its edge with a bend radius greater than 2.0″ (50 mm). DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt that has been twisted or bent double, as this will damage reinforcing fibers. DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt dust is found in timing belt covers. DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt if partial engine seizure has occurred. DO NOT reuse a camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds 45,000 miles. DO NOT use an oil or coolant contaminated timing belt (cause of contamination must be rectified).
