Product Details

Gates RPM timing belts are part of the brand’s high performance automotive timing belt line, developed for engines that operate under greater thermal and mechanical load. The T227RB uses HSN belt material and fiberglass reinforcement to help resist stretch and maintain tooth engagement in performance-oriented applications. Its 26 mm top width, 9.5 mm pitch, and Modified Curvilinear (III) profile support precise timing control in compatible Honda and Acura engines.

This part cross-references Dayco 95227 and Bando TB227 for the same application. The Gates T227RB is a direct-fit timing belt option for 1999-2000 Honda Civic, 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1992-1993 Acura Integra interference engine applications.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Cracked, glazed, or heat-aged timing belt material
• Loss of belt tension or tooth wear in high-load operation
• Noise or irregular valve timing caused by belt deterioration
• Service replacement for scheduled timing belt maintenance
• Timing belt replacement on Honda Civic, Honda Civic del Sol, and Acura Integra interference engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing component alignment before installation. Because this is an interference engine application, correct camshaft and crankshaft timing is critical during service. Inspect related timing components and seals during the repair, and confirm the belt path is clean and free of contamination before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this timing belt for high performance engine service using heat-resistant HNBR-based construction and fiberglass reinforcement. The T227RB is engineered to meet the demands of performance-oriented Honda and Acura applications while maintaining precise timing control.
