Gates T329RB Engine Timing Belt

High Performance Timing Belt for Honda and Acura

The Gates T329RB is a high performance automotive timing belt built for interference-engine applications that demand stable cam timing and heat resistance. It is a fitment-based replacement for select Honda, Acura, and Saturn models, including Honda Accord, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Acura TL applications.

Gates RPM Timing Belts are part of the High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line, engineered with HSN belt material and fiberglass cord reinforcement for strength under elevated engine loads. The blue belt uses a modified curvilinear profile, 8 mm pitch, and 197 teeth to match the specified OE-style timing geometry.

Key Features

• Part number T329RB high performance timing belt
• HSN belt material for heat resistance in demanding engine environments
• Fiberglass cord construction for added tensile stability
• Modified Curvilinear (III) tooth profile
• 8 mm pitch with 197 teeth and 62.047 in. pitch length
• No timing marks for applications that require a plain belt
• Blue Gates RPM timing belt design

Product Details

This Gates timing belt is built for engines where precise valve timing is critical, especially interference-engine applications. The T329RB is specified for a range of Honda and Acura vehicles, including 2003-2017 Honda Accord, 2005-2017 Honda Odyssey, 2005-2015 Honda Pilot, 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2004-2014 Acura TL, and 2003-2012 Acura MDX.

• Loss of cam timing accuracy from belt age or heat exposure
• Noise or irregular operation caused by belt wear
• Service replacement on interference-engine timing systems
• Timing belt service for Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Acura TL, and related applications

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and timing system requirements before installation, since fitment varies by model year and engine configuration. This belt has no timing marks, so follow the factory timing procedure and align all timing components carefully during service. Confirm the correct pitch, tooth count, and belt width before installation on Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Acura TL, and other listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Gates positions this RPM timing belt line for high performance use with heat-resistant HSN construction and fiberglass reinforcement. Part number T329RB is built to meet the dimensional and material requirements of the listed applications.
