Product Details

Continental Import timing belts are focused on reliable operation in Asian vehicle applications where accurate cam and balance shaft timing matters. The TB224 is specified for 1992-2000 Honda Civic, 1993-1995 Honda Civic del Sol, 1996-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1997-2000 Acura EL models with interference engine applications. This part number, TB224, is also cross-referenced as Gates T224 for the same application.

As a timing belt for the engine valve train, this component helps maintain synchronized engine operation and consistent performance when installed on the correct application. Continental TB224 is a practical replacement choice for drivers servicing Honda Civic and Acura EL timing systems at the manufacturer-recommended interval.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear from age, heat, and mileage
• Slippage that can affect engine timing consistency
• Noise or irregular operation from a deteriorated belt
• Premature belt failure in demanding operating conditions
• Loss of synchronization in interference engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. Because this is an interference engine application, replace the timing belt at the manufacturer-recommended interval and inspect related drive components at the same time. Confirm belt tooth count, length, width, and tooth type match the original specification before service. TB224 should be installed only on the listed Honda Civic, Honda Civic del Sol, and Acura EL applications.
