Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit line is designed to streamline timing service by grouping the core wear components needed for a proper replacement. Gates supplies timing belts and timing component kits for a wide range of vehicle applications, drawing on OEM manufacturing experience to deliver OE-style fit and function. TCK246A is specified with a spring tensioner and one idler, making it a practical choice for scheduled timing belt service on engines that require precise camshaft and crankshaft synchronization.

This part cross-references 2522462 and GTK0246A for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt
• Noisy or weak timing belt tensioning system
• Timing service due on interference engines
• Uneven belt tracking from aged idler components
• Restoring proper valve timing on Chrysler Neon, Dodge Neon, and Mitsubishi Eclipse applications

Installation Notes

Follow the included instruction sheet during installation and verify timing marks and engine timing procedures before startup. Because this kit is specified for interference-engine applications, correct alignment and tensioning are critical. Inspect related timing components and replace any worn parts during service to avoid repeat labor.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs its timing component kits as OE-equivalent or better replacements, with manufacturing standards focused on service life, quality, and performance. TCK246A is backed by Gates’ OEM experience in timing systems and is intended for professional-grade timing belt service.
