Detailed Description

Gates T216RB is part of the Gates RPM High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line, a product line aimed at engines operating at elevated horsepower and temperature levels. The belt construction uses HNBR elastomeric composites and fiberglass reinforcement to support durability in severe service conditions. With a modified curvilinear profile and no timing marks, this belt is suited to applications that rely on precise mechanical timing rather than printed reference marks. It cross-references Gates T216 and Dayco 95216 for the same application. Fits 1992-1996 Honda Prelude, N/A, and is identified by part number T216RB.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Worn or stretched timing belt causing inaccurate camshaft timing
• Cracking or glazing from heat exposure
• Tooth wear that can affect engine synchronization
• Belt degradation in higher-output engine applications
• Noise or irregular operation from an aging timing belt

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing component alignment before installation. Because this belt has no timing marks, follow the factory service procedure for setting timing. Inspect related timing components, tensioners, and pulleys during service, and confirm correct belt routing for the 1992-1996 Honda Prelude application. Use the vehicle service manual for torque values and timing verification after installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this RPM timing belt with HNBR composite materials and fiberglass cord reinforcement to support performance use and heat resistance. The T216RB is built for the specified Honda Prelude fitment and follows Gates' high-performance timing belt construction standards.
