Product Details

Gates designs OE timing belts for broad aftermarket coverage across import and domestic vehicles, and the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt line is positioned for replacement work that follows original equipment fit, function, and performance standards.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation, especially on 1993-1995 Toyota 4Runner, 1993-1995 Toyota Pickup, and 1993-1994 Toyota T100 models. Inspect related timing components, belt routing, and alignment marks before final assembly. Because this is an engine timing belt, correct indexing and tensioning are critical to proper valve train operation.

Use the timing marks as a reference during setup, and confirm that all pulleys and sprockets are clean and free of contamination before fitting the belt.
