About the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit
The PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit by Gates is engineered to meet original equipment specifications, providing a reliable replacement solution for timing belt systems. This kit combines premium materials and precise manufacturing to support the valve train components of Mitsubishi Galant engines, ensuring consistent performance and longevity.
Detailed Product Description
This timing belt component kit includes two HSN material belts designed with a modified curvilinear tooth profile to optimize engagement and reduce noise. The kit also features two hydraulic eccentric tensioners that maintain proper belt tension dynamically, along with a single idler pulley to guide the belt path. The belts come in two widths—29 mm and 13 mm—accommodating different timing functions within the engine. The absence of timing marks on the belts requires careful alignment during installation, which is supported by the included instruction sheet (0098-0113).
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
