Product Line Details: PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit

The PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit by Gates is engineered to meet original equipment specifications. This product line focuses on delivering timing belt kits that include all necessary components for a complete replacement, ensuring proper valve train synchronization. The kit’s components are designed to provide durability and precise fitment, matching OE standards for vehicles like the Dodge Colt and Mitsubishi Mirage.

Technical Description and Features

This timing belt component kit features a black HSN (Hydrogenated Nitrile) belt material known for its resistance to heat and wear. The belt’s 121 teeth utilize a modified curvilinear (iii) tooth profile, which enhances engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, reducing noise and vibration. The spring-type tensioner maintains optimal belt tension throughout operation, preventing slippage and premature wear. The belt width of 29 mm (1.142 inches) ensures compatibility with the specified vehicle models. The kit does not include timing marks on the belt, so proper alignment during installation is critical.
