Detailed Product Description

This PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit by Gates is designed to meet original equipment specifications for Mitsubishi engines. The kit contains two HSN material timing belts, known for their durability and resistance to wear, each with a modified curvilinear tooth profile to ensure smooth engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. The hydraulic eccentric tensioners provide consistent tensioning, reducing the risk of belt slippage or premature wear. An idler pulley is also included to maintain proper belt alignment and routing. This kit does not include timing marks on the belts, so careful alignment during installation is necessary. The comprehensive installation instructions help ensure correct assembly and timing setup.
