Product Details

Continental Import TB186 is an engine timing belt engineered for consistent synchronization of the crankshaft and camshaft in interference-engine applications. The belt construction is intended to handle high load conditions, resist premature wear, and maintain stable operation in demanding temperature ranges. For service work on 1990-2002 Honda Accord, 1992-2001 Honda Prelude, and related Acura CL, Isuzu Oasis, and Honda Odyssey applications, the TB186 provides the correct tooth count, width, and length for the specified engine setup. This part cross-references Gates T186 and Cloyes B186 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Timing belt wear that can lead to loss of valve timing
• Belt slippage caused by reduced load-bearing capacity
• Noise or irregular operation from an aging timing belt
• Premature belt deterioration in high-temperature service
• Service interval replacement on interference-engine vehicles

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt at the manufacturer-recommended service interval and inspect related drive components during service. Confirm tooth count, belt length, and width before installation. For interference-engine vehicles, accurate timing alignment is critical during reassembly. Compatible With 1990-2002 Honda Accord, 1992-2001 Honda Prelude, 1997-1999 Acura CL, 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis, and 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey applications.
