Detailed Product Description

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit TCK230A contains five components essential for maintaining the timing system of select Mitsubishi vehicles. The kit includes two HSN material timing belts, known for durability and resistance to wear, each with a modified curvilinear tooth profile to ensure smooth engagement with sprockets. The belts come in two widths, 29 mm and 13 mm, accommodating different engine requirements. Two hydraulic eccentric tensioners maintain proper belt tension, reducing the risk of slippage or premature wear, while a single idler pulley supports belt routing and tension stability. This kit does not include timing marks on the belts, aligning with OEM specifications for precise timing adjustments during installation.

Installation Notes and Tips

The kit includes detailed installation instructions (Instruction Sheet Number 0098-1626) to assist with proper assembly. When installing, ensure the hydraulic eccentric tensioners are correctly positioned to maintain optimal belt tension. Since the belts lack timing marks, follow OEM timing procedures carefully to align the camshaft and crankshaft accurately. Inspect all components for wear before installation and replace any additional worn parts to ensure system longevity.
