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

• Replacement of worn or damaged timing belts on Mitsubishi Galant engines
• Correction of improper belt tension causing engine timing irregularities
• Resolution of belt slippage or noise due to failing tensioners or idlers
• Prevention of engine damage from timing belt failure
• Maintenance of valve train synchronization for optimal engine performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit requires attention to detail due to the lack of timing marks on the belts. It is important to follow the included instruction sheet carefully to ensure correct belt alignment and tensioner adjustment. Use appropriate tools to install the hydraulic eccentric tensioners and idler pulley securely. Verify belt tension and timing alignment before engine startup to avoid potential damage.
