Gates T137RB Engine Timing Belt

Gates T137RB Timing Belt Overview

The Gates T137RB is a high performance automotive timing belt built for engine applications that demand strong heat resistance and stable tooth engagement. It uses HSN elastomeric construction with fiberglass cord reinforcement and timing marks for accurate service work.

Compatible with 1987-1989 Nissan Pulsar NX, N/A, this Gates RPM timing belt is part of the High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line, developed for higher horsepower engines that place added stress on the valve train.

Key Features

• Curvilinear (II) profile for consistent tooth engagement
• HSN belt material for heat resistance and durability
• Fiberglass cord reinforcement for added strength
• Timing marks for easier alignment during service
• Blue finish for quick visual identification
• 19 mm top width, 8 mm pitch, and 151 teeth
• Pitch length: 47.56 in. (1208 mm)

Detailed Product Description

Gates T137RB is engineered as a high performance timing belt for engines that operate under elevated load and temperature conditions. The HSN construction helps the belt maintain flexibility and strength, while the fiberglass cord material supports dimensional stability across the full service interval. For Nissan Pulsar NX timing belt replacement work, the T137RB provides the correct profile, tooth count, and pitch specifications needed for accurate valve timing.

This part cross-references Bando TB137 for the same application. The Gates T137RB also cross-references Gates T137 for the same application.

What This Timing Belt Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt material
• Loss of valve timing accuracy
• Noise or irregular belt tracking from aging components
• Heat-related belt deterioration in performance engines
• Service replacement on interference-engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, pitch, and pitch length before installation to confirm the correct engine application. Use the timing marks to align the belt according to the service procedure, and inspect related components such as tensioners, idlers, and seals during timing service. Because this is an interference engine application on the listed Nissan Pulsar NX models, correct timing alignment is critical before engine start-up.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures the RPM timing belt line with HSN materials and fiberglass reinforcement to support demanding engine conditions. The T137RB is built for high performance service where heat resistance and belt strength are important.
