Gates Automotive Timing Belt

The Gates automotive timing belt (also called a cam belt or engine timing belt) keeps the crankshaft and camshaft(s) synchronized. This timing keeps the engine's valves opening and closing at the right moments. Gates is a well-known name in power transmission and fluid power, and it is a longtime original equipment supplier to automakers around the world. Its timing belts are made for dependable performance and long service life.

Key Features:

• Engineered for precise tooth engagement, which helps maintain accurate valve timing
• Reinforced with high-strength tensile cords to resist stretching and help keep the belt stable under load
• Built from rubber compounds designed to stand up to heat, oil, and wear in the engine bay
• Tooth profiles and covering are designed for quiet operation and durable performance
• Manufactured to meet demanding quality standards for OE-style fit and function

Timing belts are a scheduled maintenance item. Replace one at the interval the vehicle manufacturer specifies to help prevent unexpected failure and possible engine damage. Many technicians also replace the tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump at the same time, because these parts share the same service interval. Choose the correct belt for your engine by selecting the matching part number from the options listed.
