Today’s highly sophisticated car engines operate at higher temperatures and higher speeds. Also, pulley diameters are smaller to save space under the bonnet and practically all engines now have overhead camshafts. These increasingly severe conditions put more stress on timing belts. For maximum durability and to avoid premature engine failure, only OE-quality belts should be used for timing belt replacement.
