Continental Engine Drive V-Belt Continental V-Belts are designed to provide maximum power transmission for your engine's accessories, including the alternator, water pump, and power steering pump. These belts utilize a specialized EPDM rubber compound that is resistant to oil, heat, and ozone degradation. The internal fiber-reinforced ribs provide excellent lateral stability while maintaining the flexibility needed for high-speed operation. Whether you are maintaining a daily driver or restoring a classic, Continental belts offer the "Fit and Forget" reliability required for modern and vintage cooling and charging systems. 3 Key Points of Info Precision Grip: Features a cogged or notched design that increases flexibility and reduces heat buildup, extending the life of both the belt and the pulleys.
