The AE range of high quality valve-train components includes application-specific valves, design and manufactured to OE standards. The top-engine environment is increasingly hostile, due to turbocharging and other techniques for CO2 reduction. Only components that employ OE design expertise, with the latest advanced materials and manufacturing quality, can provide the performance and durability that professional engine technicians demand. Valves are subjected to some of the highest stresses and temperatures in the engine, yet not only must they survive, they must also continue to seal perfectly. As a top-engine expert with a long heritage of innovation, AE provides the answer with high-precision designs. The choice of material is so critical that some AE valves, known as bi-metallic valves, are made from two materials, with the head optimized for strength and temperature resistance and the stem optimized to resist wear.

ContiTech Timing Belt Kits come complete with all the synchronous parts needed to do a timing belt repair quickly and efficiently. Professional repair technicians only need one box to do the entire job. And drivers enjoy a safe and reliable product that stands the test of time. On average, it takes about 2-4 hours to do a timing belt repair whether professional repair technicians replace just the belt or all the corresponding parts at the same time. Since the time and difficulty is already allocated to do the repair, the return on labor hours is greater when changing the entire drive belt system. From the belt to the tensioner and/or idler, all ContiTech Timing Belt Kits contain only OE-quality components. In fact, many of ContiTech kits exceed OEM quality specifications.
