5. Install the New Timing Belt Place the new timing belt around the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring it fits snugly and aligns with the timing marks.

In colder climates, the flexibility of standard materials might suffer, but the synthetic rubber used in our drive belts maintains its pliability even in sub-zero temperatures. This prevents cracking, which is a common cause of belt failure in icy environments. On the flip side, when your engine is running hot or you're driving through sweltering conditions, our belts resist heat degradation. Their ability to handle intense thermal stress ensures reliable performance without stretching or snapping.

Another important factor affecting the performance of the serpentine belt is proper alignment. Misalignment can cause uneven wear and increase the risk of belt failure. The pulleys that the belt runs on should be aligned correctly; otherwise, it can lead to lateral forces that diminish the belt's effectiveness. In some cases, adjustments can be made to the tensioner or other components to ensure proper alignment.
