OPTIMAL ramps up engine timing kits line

Aftermarket supplier OPTIMAL has expanded its engine timing kit range in response to the growing technical demands of independents.

The introduction of new timing chain and water pump kits gives workshops access to complete, OE-quality timing assemblies tailored to the specific requirements of chain- and belt-driven engine platforms. 

Designed for chain-driven engines, the new kits offer a comprehensive system solution with over 280 SKUs, covering more than 91% of the European car parc.

For belt-driven platforms, the water pump kits combine an OE-origin timing belt with precision-matched tensioner pulleys, idlers, and a high-performance water pump. They are available in both standard and switchable hydraulic configurations. 

OPTIMAL is part of the Emotive family — a one-stop shop for independent workshops across Europe — working with strategic and local distribution partners.
