Product Details

Gates TCKWP224 is part of the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump line, which combines timing drive components with the water pump in one service package. That approach is important on engines where the water pump is driven by the timing belt, since wear in either component can affect the same service interval. The belt features 104 teeth, a 24 mm width, and a black top color, while the kit also includes a spring-style tensioner and sealing components for the pump installation.

This part cross-references Continental PP224LK5 for the same application. It is a direct-fit service solution for 1996-2000 Honda Civic, 1996-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1997-2000 Acura EL timing belt maintenance.

Common Problems This Kit Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Noise or loss of tension from a worn tensioner or spring
• Coolant leaks from a timing belt driven water pump
• Service overlap when multiple timing components are due at once
• Repeat teardown caused by replacing the belt without the pump

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing belt and water pump together when servicing the listed Honda Civic, Honda Civic del Sol, and Acura EL applications. Follow the included instructions and verify engine code, model year, and interference-engine requirements before installation. Proper timing alignment and tension setup are critical during reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies this kit as an OE-style timing service solution with matched components for the timing drive and water pump system. The included parts are selected to support a complete repair on the specified applications and reduce the need to reopen the front engine cover after service.
