These screws basically hold everything together within the timing belt system. They secure the various components – things like the tensioner, idler pulleys, and the covers – keeping them firmly in place. It’s a pretty simple part, but it's a vital one. They come in different sizes and strengths depending on where they’re used within the kit. This screw is part of what keeps your engine’s timing perfectly synchronized. The timing belt itself makes sure the crankshaft and camshaft are working together when they should be. The screws make sure all the parts around the belt stay put so the whole thing works properly. It's not something that directly makes the engine go, but if one of these fails, it throws everything off. Honestly, these little guys are a big deal. If a screw fails, even seems minor, it can lead to a whole lot of trouble. You might start with some unusual noises, but it could eventually cause the timing belt to misalign or even break. That's serious because if your timing belt breaks, things can get really expensive, really fast - potentially damaging valves, pistons, the whole deal. Replacing these when you’re already doing a timing belt kit is just good preventative maintenance. You can find a good selection of these, and the whole kit for that matter, over at Fixparts Online, but they're available at most auto parts stores. You’ll notice if one of these is going bad because you might hear a rattling sound coming from the engine area or see evidence of oil or coolant leaks near the timing cover. It's always best to address these small things before they become big problems. Dedicated to your needs: Hex Screw (MPN N0102544) comes with a 12-month warranty!
