Detailed Description

The Gates TCK117 timing belt component kit is designed for complete timing system service on the listed Mazda 626 and Mazda B2000 applications. Gates supplies timing belts and timing component kits for a wide range of vehicle platforms, and this kit reflects OE-equivalent service intent with a belt and tensioner matched for the application. The belt uses HSN construction, a curvilinear tooth profile, and a 22 mm width to support proper timing drive operation in the specified engines. This part number, TCK117, is a direct fitment-focused choice for Mazda timing belt replacement work.

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit products are built around complete system replacement, which helps reduce the need to source timing components separately. For technicians and DIY repair work on Mazda 626 and Mazda B2000 models, TCK117 provides the core timing service parts needed for a proper timing belt job.

This part cross-references Continental TB117K1 for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt service intervals
• Noise or loss of tension from a failing spring tensioner
• Timing drive maintenance on Mazda 626 and Mazda B2000 engines
• Incomplete timing service when belt and tensioner are sourced separately
• Restoring proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization after timing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and chassis details before installation, especially for the 1986 Mazda B2000 application with chassis no. 568708 and after. Follow the included instruction sheet during service, and inspect related timing components and seals before reassembly. Because the belt has no timing marks, use the engine’s service procedure and alignment references during installation. Replace the timing belt as part of a complete timing service to maintain correct engine timing on the Mazda 626 and Mazda B2000 applications.
