Quinton Hazell QBK403 Timing Belt Kit
Complete replacement Quinton Hazell timing belt kit for Mazda MX-5 MK1/NA and MK2/NB/NB-FL 1.6 and naturally aspirated 1.8 petrol models listed in the compatibility table.
The timing belt keeps the crankshaft and camshafts synchronised so the engine's valves operate at the correct point in the combustion cycle. QBK403 is designed as an aftermarket replacement for the original timing components on the applications listed.
This kit provides the three principal timing-belt service components together: the timing belt, tensioner pulley and idler / guide pulley. Replacing the belt and pulleys together helps avoid reusing worn bearings during a timing-belt service.
Typical replacement reasons include scheduled timing-belt maintenance, belt age or cracking, noisy or rough pulley bearings, excessive pulley play or replacement while carrying out other work in the engine timing area.
