Gates T186RB Engine Timing Belt

Gates T186RB High Performance Timing Belt

The Gates T186RB is a high performance automotive timing belt built for engines that demand strong belt control and heat resistance. It uses HSN elastomeric composite construction with fiberglass cord reinforcement to handle the demands of higher horsepower applications.

Compatible With Honda Accord, Honda Prelude, Acura CL, Isuzu Oasis, and Honda Odyssey applications that use a 70-tooth, 9.5 mm pitch timing belt. The blue Gates RPM timing belt profile is engineered for interference engine service where consistent valve timing is critical.

Product Details

Gates High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line is built for performance-oriented engine applications where belt durability and timing accuracy matter. The T186RB uses HSN construction and fiberglass cords to better withstand heat and the stresses associated with higher output engines. With a modified curvilinear tooth profile and no timing marks, it is suited to applications that rely on precise belt engagement and correct installation alignment.

This part cross-references Dayco 95186 and Continental 40186 for the same application. It is a direct fit for many Honda Accord and Honda Prelude timing belt applications, along with select Acura CL, Isuzu Oasis, and Honda Odyssey models.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt material
• Noise or irregular belt tracking from age-related wear
• Loss of valve timing accuracy in interference engines
• Heat-related belt deterioration in demanding engine environments
• Service replacement for high performance timing belt applications

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, tooth count, pitch length, and belt profile before installation. This belt has no timing marks, so proper cam and crank alignment procedures are required during service. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s timing system specifications before replacing the belt on a Honda Accord, Honda Prelude, Acura CL, Isuzu Oasis, or Honda Odyssey.

Quality Assurance

Gates timing belts are manufactured for demanding engine service and built with heat-resistant HSN materials and fiberglass reinforcement to support consistent operation in performance applications.
