Product Details

Gates designs its timing component kits for complete system replacement, reducing the need to source individual parts separately. As an OE supplier to vehicle manufacturers, Gates builds this kit to OE-equivalent or better standards for service life, quality, and performance. The TCK276 is a direct-fit timing belt component kit for Ford Ranger and Mazda B-series truck applications that require a 131-tooth, 22 mm belt with a spring tensioner.

This part cross-references Cloyes BK276 and Continental TB276K1 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or stretched timing belt
• Addressing timing noise from a weak or failing tensioner
• Restoring correct valve timing after scheduled maintenance
• Correcting belt wear, cracking, or glazing
• Servicing Ford Ranger and Mazda B2300/B2500 timing systems during engine repair

Installation Notes

Follow the included instruction sheet 0098-1637 during installation. Verify belt tooth count, width, and tensioner style before assembly, and confirm timing alignment on the engine before startup. Because timing marks are not included on the belt, careful engine positioning and mark verification are important during service.
