• Variable notched design: as engine heat builds, the belt tightens on the drive to help prevent slippage, improve belt performance and reduce noise.
• Fiber-loaded EPDM stock: adds flexibility along the belt's length and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
• Form-ground: precise top width and sidewall dimensional control for a proper fit to the pulley.
• Thermally-active tensile cords: deliver maintenance-free performance when the belt is properly installed and tensioned.
• EPDM belt body with polyester cords: resists oil, heat, ozone, weather and aging for improved belt life.

It uses an HC41 cross section with a 0.41 in (10 mm) top width and a 44.75 in (1137 mm) effective length. Meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Made in the United States. Quantity varies by application — some engines use two belts — and this belt is sold individually.
