Detailed Description

The kit includes a timing belt, water pump, tensioner components, idlers, and seals, with OEM-quality component selection intended to support a complete timing system refresh. The Pro Series Plus line focuses on application-specific timing service parts, and this kit uses a metal-impeller pump plus Viton seals for the included sealing components. If you are replacing the timing belt on a 1988-1991 Toyota Camry or a 1990-1991 Lexus ES250, PP157LK2 provides the major wear items commonly serviced together in one package.

This part cross-references Gates TCKWP157A for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Worn or stretched timing belt causing timing noise or service interval concerns
• Water pump leakage or coolant seepage at the timing cover area
• Tensioner wear that can affect belt tracking and belt tension stability
• Seal leakage from camshaft seal areas during timing service
• Idler wear discovered during a timing belt replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation, especially on Toyota Camry and Lexus ES250 models from these years. Replace the timing belt system with the engine at top dead center and confirm timing marks before removal and reassembly. Inspect related pulleys, seals, and coolant passages during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque and coolant-fill procedures. Because this kit is specified with timing marks, align the belt carefully during installation and rotate the engine by hand to confirm correct timing before startup.

PP157LK2 is specified with a 60,000-mile timing kit change interval and includes the major components needed for a timing belt and water pump service on the listed Toyota and Lexus applications.
