This part cross-references Dayco 95313 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine noise caused by a worn or stretched timing belt
• Loss of camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Timing drift from heat, wear, or contamination exposure
• Starting or drivability issues related to incorrect valve timing
• Service replacement for interference-engine timing maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system requirements before installation. Because this belt is used in interference-engine applications, correct timing alignment is essential during service. Inspect related timing components, belt routing, and tensioner condition during replacement to help maintain proper engine timing.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures OE timing belts and builds the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt line to OE exact standards for fit and performance. The T313 is engineered for resistance to heat, wear, and contamination in engine timing applications.
