Detailed Description

The Gates TCK167 timing belt component kit is designed for interference-engine timing service on select Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Elantra, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi Galant, and Plymouth Laser applications. It is built around two HSN timing belts with 153 and 65 teeth, plus matching tensioning components and an idler, helping restore proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization during scheduled maintenance or repair.

This kit cross-references Cloyes BK167 and Dayco 95167K1 for the same application. For technicians and DIY buyers searching for a timing belt kit for 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser, 1989-1992 Mitsubishi Galant, or 1993-1995 Hyundai Elantra, TCK167 provides a direct OE-style service solution.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Worn or stretched timing belts
• Noisy or failing timing belt tensioners
• Timing system wear that can affect engine synchronization
• Service needs on interference engines where timing maintenance is critical
• Incomplete timing repairs when belts and tensioning parts are replaced separately

Installation Notes

• Verify engine code and build date before ordering; one listed Hyundai Sonata application applies to vehicles built Sept. 23, 1995 and older.
• Some listed applications exclude the cam tensioner hydraulic assembly; confirm the existing engine configuration before installation.
• Installation instructions are included, and the kit uses no timing marks on either belt.
• Follow factory timing procedures and inspect related seals, pulleys, and covers during service.
