Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or noisy timing belt service assembly

Installation Notes

Review the included instruction sheet before installation and verify engine code, model year, and application notes against the vehicle. This kit does not include timing marks on the belt. The fitment notes also state that it excludes the cam tensioner hydraulic assembly for interference engine application, so confirm the vehicle’s existing timing system configuration before beginning service.

For best results, inspect related timing components and follow factory service procedures, including proper belt routing, tensioner setup, and crank/cam timing alignment. Gates includes installation instructions with this kit to support a complete timing service.
