Over time, OEM belts stretch, compromising ignition and cam timing profiles. Concurrently, factory water pump shaft bearings and mechanical face seals degrade from thermal cycling, leading to weeping coolant, impeller cavitation, and localized hot-spotting across the dual overhead camshaft cylinder head. Brittle front crankshaft and camshaft radial lip seals also permit oil contamination on the timing belt, accelerating tooth shearing and belt failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis timing overhaul system utilizes a high-tensile, heat-resistant 163-tooth composite timing belt engineered to resist longitudinal elongation and oil degradation. The high-flow mechanical water pump features precision-machined aluminum housings, reinforced bearing assemblies, and long-life seals to prevent cavitation under elevated RPM. Premium steel tensioner and idler bearings maintain optimal tooth engagement and reduce rotational drag, while resilient Viton-blend cam and crank oil seals prevent engine oil ingress into the belt cavity, ensuring synchronous valve operation and sustained thermal dissipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Belt (163 teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Roller Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Idler Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Crankshaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Camshaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump with mounting gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1999-2001 Toyota Solara\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5S-FE 2.2L \/ SXV20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e136 hp \/ 150 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Toyota Solara 2.2L 4-Cylinder (5S-FE \/ SXV20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000 Toyota Solara 2.2L 4-Cylinder (5S-FE \/ SXV20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001 Toyota Solara 2.2L 4-Cylinder (5S-FE \/ SXV20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the SXV20 Solara?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1999-2001 Toyota Solara equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e5S-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2L DOHC engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 3.0L 1MZ-FE V6 models.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould the cooling system be flushed during installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a complete coolant drain and refill with fresh ethylene-glycol fluid is required to clear contaminants and protect the internal water pump ceramic seal from premature abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Toyota Caliber Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the proven Toyota 4-cylinder architecture, this kit preserves the relentless reliability and daily power delivery expected of late-90s Japanese engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545247088888,"sku":"DS-EZBK5P8BS","price":71.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-solara-1999-2001-2-2l-1.jpg?v=1790720334","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-toyota-solara-1999-2001-2-2l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
