Product Description
The INA Timing belt kit (530 0135 10) is an original-equipment-quality engine synchronization overhaul package manufactured by INA (a premier brand under the Schaeffler Group). Positioned at the front of the engine block behind the protective timing covers, its primary operational function is to maintain a perfect, mechanically locked 2:1 timing ratio between the crankshaft and the overhead camshaft (OHC). This precise synchronization ensures that the engine's intake and exhaust valves open and close in microsecond alignment with the travel of the pistons. Over time and miles, rubber timing belts undergo structural stretching, tooth wear, and atmospheric ozone degradation, while the tensioner bearing suffers internal grease breakdown. Failing to replace this kit at the factory-specified interval risks a snapped belt, which causes instant, catastrophic valve-to-piston collisions in interference engines, destroying the cylinder head.

Vehicle Compatibility
This 122-tooth profile is the definitive engine timing standard engineered to fit the iconic 8-valve, single overhead camshaft (SOHC) "Pinto" engine family (ranging from 1.6L to 2.0L) utilized across European Ford passenger car and commercial fleets from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s:
| Car Model / Platform | Compatible Engine Sub-types | Engine Displacement Range | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Sierra Mk1 & Mk2 (GBG, GB4, BNG) | 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 2.0 i (Naturally aspirated and carbureted OHC Pinto lines) |
1593 - 1993 cc | 1982 - 1993 |
| Ford Transit Mk2, Mk3 & Mk4 | 1.6 Petrol / 2.0 Petrol (Heavy-duty commercial utility calibrations) |
1593 - 1993 cc | 1977 - 1992 |
| Ford Capri Mk2 & Mk3 / Granada Mk2 & Mk3 | 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.0 i models | 1593 - 1993 cc | 1974 - 1989 |
| Ford Escort Mk2 (ATH) / RS2000 | 2.0 RS / 1.6 OHC rear-wheel-drive configurations | 1593 - 1993 cc | 1975 - 1980 |
| Ford Scorpio Mk1 (GAE, GGE) | 2.0 / 2.0 i early base engine configurations | 1993 cc | 1985 - 1992 |
⚠️ Installation Calibration & Water Pump Notice: While changing the timing componentry on a Ford Pinto OHC engine is a straightforward mechanical operation, precision is absolute. Never apply leverage directly against the new belt with sharp tools like screwdrivers during installation, as this compromises the internal fiberglass tensile cords. Tension the belt using the specific eccentric rotation procedure on the tensioner pulley, and rotate the crankshaft **two full turns manually clockwise** by hand before starting the engine to confirm the top dead center (TDC) timing marks line up flawlessly. Mechanics strongly advise inspecting or replacing the auxiliary shaft-driven water pump while the timing cover is removed, ensuring total front-end engine reliability.
