Detailed Description

Gates TCK241 is an engine timing belt component kit for vehicles that require a 97-tooth, 19 mm wide timing belt and spring-loaded tensioner service. The belt uses HCR material and a modified curvilinear tooth design to match the demands of precise camshaft and crankshaft synchronization. This kit is a practical choice for timing belt replacement on 1993-1995 Geo Metro and 1994-1995 Pontiac Firefly models, including 1995 Geo Metro and 1995 Pontiac Firefly with 5-bolt sprocket mounting notes where specified.

This part cross-references Dayco 95241K1 for the same application. The Gates TCK241 part number is also used when sourcing the correct timing belt component kit for these Geo Metro and Pontiac Firefly timing service jobs.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt condition
• Noise or loss of tension from an aging spring tensioner
• Timing service needs during scheduled engine maintenance
• Incorrect belt tracking caused by degraded timing components
• Parts mismatch when replacing timing belt components individually

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions during installation and verify sprocket mounting details before assembly. Because the belt has no timing marks, align engine timing using the vehicle service procedure and factory reference points. Replace related timing components as needed during service to maintain proper belt tension and timing accuracy.
