Gates Timing Belt

Gates Timing Belts are engine timing belts (also called cam belts or synchronous drive belts) that keep the crankshaft and camshaft in precise sync. That timing keeps the valves and pistons moving in the correct sequence for smooth running, reliable power delivery and efficient combustion.

Key Features:

• Toothed design engages the pulleys positively to prevent slippage and hold accurate engine timing
• Reinforced construction built to resist stretching, wear and fatigue under continuous load
• Wear-resistant tooth facing helps the belt run quietly and last longer
• Made to handle heat, oil and the flexing demands of the engine compartment
• Gates is a well-known supplier of belts and drive components, including original equipment applications

A timing belt is a critical maintenance item. Replacing it at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended interval helps protect the engine from the damage that a worn or failed belt can cause. Many installers also replace the tensioner, idler pulleys and water pump at the same time. Each belt in the Gates Timing Belt line has its own tooth count and length, so choose the part number that matches your application.
