Common Uses

• Restoring correct camshaft and crankshaft timing
• Addressing belt noise caused by wear or contamination
• Servicing interference-engine timing components on covered Nissan applications
• Maintaining timing accuracy after scheduled belt replacement intervals

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, sprocket style, and application notes before installation. Some listed Nissan applications require round tooth sprockets, and several are interference-engine applications, so correct timing alignment is critical. Use the timing marks on the belt to help confirm cam and crank positioning during service.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures OE timing belts for broad import and domestic coverage, and the T249 is built to meet or exceed OE standards for fit, function, and performance.
